<p>Official designation:- Tank, Cruiser Mark V**, A13.
British serial:- T23140.
Built 1941 by the London Midland &amp; Scottish Railway (LMS)
The Covenanter was the first British cruiser tank to be named. Problems with engine cooling meant none were deployed on active duty overseas, serving instead in the home defence and training roles.
This is currently the only complete and restored British Covenanter, having been dug up on a farm near Dorking in 1983. A second example has since been recovered from the same farm.
On display at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, UK.
