Summary

[edit]
Description

Finnish 6-ton Vickers tank, manufactured in Britain in 1938. This tank has the Bofors 37 mm gun, in contrast to many Vickers tanks in Finnish service which were upgunned with the Soviet 45 mm gun during the war. The blue-white stripes were used as identification during the Winter War, presumably to distinguish the tanks from very similar looking Soviet T-26s.

This photo shows the manufacturer's label on the front of the tank.

Displayed in Finnish Tank Museum (Panssarimuseo) in Parola.
