johntanner Posted 21 January , 2017 Share Posted 21 January , 2017 Just spotted this on the pub's Facebook page. Never see it before even though I grew up in the village. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks3 Posted 21 January , 2017 Share Posted 21 January , 2017 John This is the tank that was presented to Aylesbury. For some reason it was decided it was to be delivered to Wendover and it would then make its own way to Aylesbury under its own steam. Although you can only see a part of the number at the rear of the tank (the policeman is blocking the rest) I was wondering if you can read the first 2 numbers any better. It seems to be 20. Is that right? Tanks3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntanner Posted 21 January , 2017 Author Share Posted 21 January , 2017 Definitely 20. I did wonder if it was the Aylesbury tank. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanks3 Posted 21 January , 2017 Share Posted 21 January , 2017 Thanks for posting the extract report from a newspaper, IPT, most grateful. Any chance of you sending it to me via PM for my records? Tanks3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Underwood Posted 21 January , 2017 Share Posted 21 January , 2017 I was interested to see this as I live a mile away from here further down the road. The Marquis of Granby is now called the Village Gate. The tank would have passed my house on its way to Aylesbury. June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidearm Posted 25 January , 2017 Share Posted 25 January , 2017 Thanks for posting this. Since the first two digits of the serial are 20 we can say with certainty that this tank was built as a Male, and has had Female sponsons fitted later in its career.
