Description: | Front view of British Mark VII male tank, number 5051, 'SIR HAMO', its prow raised as it climbs a grassy slope. Note six-pounder gun in sponson, unditching beam carried on rails over hull and civilian standing with right arm raised. One of three Mark VIIs built by Brown Brothers of Edinburgh, the hull was longer than the standard Mark IV or V but its main feature was the hydraulic transmission by Williams-Janney which did not work well within the confines of a tank, making operating conditions unbearably hot. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
