Description

The United Kingdom invented the tank and was responsible for campaign-winning tactics, yet by the start of World War II had fallen well behind other nations in the design and build of armored vehicles. William Suttie tells the history of tank design from a government perspective and how the situation during World War 2 resulted in the formation of the Fighting Vehicles Research and Development Establishment at Chertsey which developed world leading vehicles and technologies throughout the Cold War.

This lecture has been arranged and will be hosted by theIMechE Germany Group(in conjunction with the IMechE events team).
