💥How to fire FV4005💥 The FV4005’s 183mm calibre L4A1 is the biggest gun ever fitted to a tank. The gun was very effective when it hit the target, but FV4005 could only carry 12 rounds, and needed two loaders for the 97kg, 144cm long ammunition.

The Tank Museum has two First World War tank replicas, one of the German A7V, and one of the British Mark IV. Whilst we don’t run our First World War collection anymore (due to fragility), these replicas do a great job of representing the real thing.

This is the Praying Mantis, a bizarre and unique British prototype from WWII. The vehicle was difficult to control, and induced sickness in the crew(!) - the plan was therefore abandoned in 1944. The sole surviving example is part of our collection, here at The Tank Museum.
