Afraid not.

I believe I have it. A prototype build in New Zealand.

And I believe you da man

Spot on Buddahaid.

The Schofield Tank was a unique design, some essential parts (engine, gearbox etc.) came from street car production. Only prototypes were build, the most evolved one was shipped to England and checked for suitability. The Brits didn't like it and so the whole idea was dismissed.

Over to you

Buddahaid · 01-01-21, 12:08 PM

That was a tough one. Somehow it didn't occur to me it could have been a prototype.

What is this (sorry for the poor quality)?

Jimbuna · 01-01-21, 12:17 PM

A ship?

Buddahaid · 01-01-21, 12:17 PM

Yes indeed.

Um, sorry, I didn't mean to cause confusion here. The Wikipedia entry for the "Ordnance QF 2-pounder" says it is a 40mm tank (vehicle-mounted) and anti-tank gun made by Vickers. It is understood that Vickers guns with 40mm calibre come in different flavors, I just used the more generic term.

A warship?

Buddahaid · 01-01-21, 01:00 PM

It is a warship.

Jimbuna · 01-01-21, 01:00 PM

A capital ship?

Buddahaid · 01-01-21, 01:04 PM

Not a capital ship.
