I've been told there's a Whippet at Kubinka.  Anyone got any photos or information on this survivor, please?

Never heard of a medium A in Kubinka. AKAIK only 5 survivors:

Tank Museum England, 
Army Museum Brussels,
Army Ordnance Museum USA,
CFB Borden Museum Canada,
Army College Praetoria South Africa.

Not impossible. But is it likely? How reliable is your source?

Well, my source is David Fletcher at The Tank Museum, Bovington. Pretty reliable, I'd say...

Well, I've been to Kubinka some years ago, but definitely did NOT see a Whippet. For those who do not want to give up hope, there is of course always a (negligable) chance of a Whippet still sitting in hiding in the Kubinka scrapyard, right between the A7V which the Russians captured from the Poles and the wheels of the Czar tank... confused

all the best,
Michel.

Perhaps the best way to proceed would be to email Kubinka?

Be fantastic if true, the Whippet is my favourite AFV of all time, fascinating history and a good looking machine too
