Description
A British Mark IV supply tank, with the vehicle number 402. It has been fitted with sponsons but no armament. A number of Mark IV tanks were converted to the supply roll and were used to deliver ammunition to the front line and to evacuate casualties. This particular vehicle is assigned to an unidentified Royal Flying Corps / Royal Air Force base and was probably used as an aircraft towing tug.
