Historical Information

The VCL Light Amphibious Tank, designated A4E12, was a British light amphibious tank developed in the early 1930s by Vickers-Carden-Loyd. Although it was not widely adopted by the British Army, it was exported to a number of other countries, including the Soviet Union, China, the Netherlands, and Thailand. The vehicle was mainly used for testing, training, and to a limited extent in combat during the interwar period and just before the outbreak of World War II. It garnered particular interest as an innovative design combining both land and water capabilities.
