This August sees the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Amiens, in which over 500 tanks opened the road to victory for the Allies in WW1. It was perhaps the most convincing demonstration of the effectiveness of the relatively new combined-arms tactics.
Armortek has been invited to take part in the Tank Museum's commemorative event on 8-9th of August. Specifically, we've been invited to put on a demonstration with as large a collection on Mk IV models as we can muster. It is a mid-week event but as a unique spectacle, will be unforgettable.
At this stage, we'd just like to know who might be interested. We're naturally focussing on Mk IV but will register interest from anyone who'd like to attend.
Thanks.
Stephen

Re: Calling Mk IV owners - Amiens 100
Sounds like a good opportunity to re-issue the Mk IV....
Because, well, it would be a great companion for a Rolls-Royce....
Just 'sayin.
Cheers,

And if Kian and Mark are looking for an Edwardian Kompact Kit Koncept... a French 75... would be sooooooo.... welcome. Well, after the 6 pdr. Actually, no... before the 6 pdr.

The Brig of Brigands, or Band of Brigands? Or is that the name of the RTR's house band!
