Name that Tank?
Permalink   


Hello All,

In this pop video for the 

B-52's Rock Lobster         (copy and paste link below)

(which is quite possibly the grooviest thing ever seen on landships! biggrin)

There is a brief clip of a MK V Male with E24 painted on the front track horns.

Can anyone name that Tank? (of course you can!)

The short clip (at about 1 min 36 secs for anyone who isn't a B-52s fan) is one I've not seen before. The tank is serial 9164, a Mark V Composite (aka Hermaphrodite) that served with 5th Battalion in Germany. It is known to have been in Duesseldorf on 14 March 1921. It had previously belonged to 12th Battalion when that battalion was in Germany and at that time was numbered L7. It was originally issued, when it was a Male, to 4th Battalion on 17 June 1918 but was disabled on 10 August that year.

I just want to say that this is the most bizarre tank question I've ever been asked... wink.gif

Most excellent sir!

I have to say, I have absolutely no idea why, or how the clip came to be in the video...

but it is good to know, that no matter how off the wall the link, the landships experts have it covered! biggrin

Now here is a challenge, can any Landships forum folk, top this most unusual of  tank related information requests?
