FV 100 - 100 ton tank.

[JohnR]

Does anyone have any details regarding the post war FV 100 family (Not the FV101 Scorpion and family)? All I have been to find out is that it was intended to be a 80 to 100 ton vehicle to complement the FV 200 and FV 300 families. I assume that it could be a development of the Tortoise Assault Gun/Tank.

I would be grateful for any additional information.

Thank you for the information; I was thinking of ordering that book. It adds a little more meat to what I had already found out. The information on the 1000hp engine is interesting, I wonder if it was an uprated version of the Meteor or an new design?
