Even before the Infantry Tank I Matilda I went into production it had been decided that the crew of two and armament of a single machine gun was inadequate. As it was impossible to fit a heavier armament and additional crew into the Matilda a new specification was drawn up. In 1938, with gathering tension in Europe, Vickers were invited to help manufacture or design a new vehicle. Based on their A.10 Heavy Cruiser, Vickers rapidly produced what was to become the Valentine.
A rea treasure containing many informative photographs and line drawings taken from the service manuals showing variations in stowage and clear internal stowage.
