Matilda I

This vehicle was recovered from Otterburn Ranges. It was later restored by Bob Grundy. It is powered by a modern Rover car engine and now used for displays in the Museum arena

Some additional info on the Covenanter (from the Museum):

This tank was given to the Museum by the Lord Ashcombe, after being discovered on his Surrey estate in 1983, where it had lain buried for many years. Restoration was completed in 1985

Any info on how the vehicle got buried there? Sounds very odd to me.

I've seen similar on a few other tanks in Bovington.
I guess they refer to crew members, but I am just guessing

Hi,

Any idea what the three small crosses signify?
