Mk1 tank blueprint

Recommended Posts

I hope this hasn’t been posted but auctioneer Paul Laidlaw is due to sell the only known blueprint of the Mk1 tank along with patent documentation.

The auctioneers valuation is slightly beyond me (by a few noughts).

There’s an article in the Liverpool Echo.

Off to the local shop to buy a few national lottery tickets in the hope of winning enough!

Seriously, I hope that the Tank Museum has the funds to make a purchase. If not them, then perhaps the IWM.

Mate,

I think I did have a copy of this when Pernells History of WWI first came out in the late 60's there was a blue print of the first tank in it.

So these are out there if not the real thing?

Catalogue in preparation at the moment, interesting to see how it goes.
