Cover Picture - Influenced directly by the large scale employment of the Christie-derived BT tanks by the Soviet Army, the British decided, at the end of 1936, to produce a new generation of fast cruiser tanks developed from the Christie design. This resulted in the A13 series, of which the final version, A13 Mk III, was an attempt to provide a lower profile and more power than the earlier models. Designated Cruiser Tank Mk V and called the Covenanter, it had a new Meadows flat-12 engine instead of the original Liberty unit in order to reduce overall height. The Covenanter was built by the LMS Railway Co and appeared in 1940, but proved to be a failure, due mainly to unsatisfactory engine cooling. It never saw combat service, but equipped armoured divisions in Britain in the dark 'invasion scare' days of early 1941, and was also widely used for training, an alternative design, the Crusader, gaining much more fame. Our picture, taken in 1942, shows a Covenanter troop concealed behind a copse, the nearest vehicle complete with 'B' Sqn markings and the RAC flash. Of special interest are the short-lived tank helmets issued to crews at this period.
