Tank Chats #9 Whippet - Medium A | The Tank Museum

Tank Chats playlist    • Tank Chats from The Tank Museum   The ninth in the Tank Chat series about some of the vehicles in our collection presented by The Tank Museum's historian David Fletcher MBE.

While the heavy tanks were designed for direct attacks against enemy trenches the Tank Corps also wanted a lighter, faster tank to work with the cavalry over open country. Designed by Sir William Tritton and built by Fosters of Lincoln the Medium A, or Whippet, was the only such tank to see service with the Tank Corps, starting in 1918.
