As you have probably guessed from the date above, it was exactly 90 years ago today since the Tank first appeared on the Battlefield and changed combat history on the ground in the process

Nice Little bit of reading and they have certainly evolved since those early ones.

It seems that long ago since I made the Airfix Mk 1 tank with those awfull rubber tracks.

I still liked the model though and, as you say, a significant turning point in history.
