1940's M5A1 Stuart Light Tank, The Muckleburgh Military Collection.

            The M5 A1 was introduced as a replacement for the M3 Light Tank. Its reliability and mobility was impressive and proved popular with the British crews, who affectionately referred to it as ''Honey'' a name by which it is widely known.

The principle improvements over the M3 were a larger turret with radio bulge, larger access hatches for the driver and co-driver, an improved mount for the 37mm gun and better vision devices. It was fast with good cross country performance although its main armament was considered inadequate and armour protection was poor.

The Stuart saw service with the British Army in North Africa, Burma and Europe. It was the first tank to be used by the U.S Forces in the Pacific and despite its shot comings was affective against all Japanese tanks. The flame throwing and anti- aircraft versions were particularly popular with attacking infantry.
