Any surviving examples?

Does anyone know if there are surviving examples of the Cruiser? DMorpheus (talk) 14:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia page for The Bovington Tank Museum states that they have one on display.

Main Image of Crusier mk III appears to be of Crusier mk IV

I was just looking at the image of Crusier mk III on its article and it appears the main image seems to look exactly like crusier mk IV. A completely different image of Crusier mk III that is a side view of the tank that bears no resembalence to the main image which is the correct crusier mk III can be seen further down the page which makes me almost certain the main image of Crusier mk III is actually crusier mkIV. I have also regularly looked at images of crusiers and I am certain that the main image is crusier mark IV or a13 mk II and not of Crusier mark III or A13 mk I which in my experience has a far less flat turret and is more angled and looks like the side image further down the page.For these reasons at some point when I have time and gotten a bit more experience in wikipedia as I am new I will change the main image of Crusier mk III to what I am certain is the correct image from all the media of the tank I have seen. I realise how people got confused in the tank chat when David fletcher talked about the A13 and somebody thought it was crusier mk III as that is its specification number but the A13 specification number applies to both crusier mk III and IV and the one in the tank chat is definately crusier mk IV and not mk III which is what the page is supposed to be about.If anyone wants to challenge me on this put your post hereAnonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 12:14, 10 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Changed main article Image

Changed the main article image from the Bovington tank museum Crusier mk IV (which is what I believe it is) To a actual Crusier mk III that was abandoned at Calais probably during operation Dynamo(Dunkirk evacuation). Image came from wiki commons and it was provided to the site by the German federal archive. I hope the new image will avoid confusion between Crusier mk III and IV which I believe would have been the case with the previous image being of Crusier mk IV on the article for Crusier mk IIIAnonymous contributor 1707 (talk) 10:47, 15 October 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous contributor 1707 (talk • contribs) 18:19, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
