British Airborne Tetrarch Light Tank
Share / Bookmark
The Tetrarch tank was originally designed as a replacement for the Light Tank Mk VI in 1938, but first saw combat during the invasion of Madagascar, supporting the invasion to retake this French colony in May 1942. The Hamilcar Glider was designed to carry the Tetrarch and during the Normandy invasions one squadron of the Airborne 6th Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment landed in 30 Hamilcar gliders on June 6, 1944 in the second wave to support the 6th Airborne Division at the River Orne. Eighteen to twenty Tetrarch tanks left Britain, a few were damaged on landing in Normandy, but the bulk went into combat supporting the Paras on the ground.
