I just had a flick through some images in that category, and there is quite a lot that I reckon I'd be able to improve on with my D90 and a tripod. If only I had a spare day to go and take photos of tanks :)

Tog 1 they don't. The only Cavalier tank I'm aware of is one in rather poor condition on the isle of weight. They've got a FV4211 turret but not a hull. They have got a Rotatrailer.

We have already got a lot of photos from the museum:

So you'd need to be pretty good to improve on what we have. We also have a lot of tanks from the likes of United States Army Ordnance Museum.

Lighting isn't the greatest. If we could get a samyang 10mm f/2.8 and match it with the chapter's 60D we might be able to get some pretty good results.

Thanks Magnus and Richard, I have added your suggestions to the wishlist, if anyone else has further suggestions please post them there. though it might be worth checking if the museum has such a vehicle on display.

Such as:
  • Tiger 131 (which could be notable by itself)
  • Rotatrailer
  • the Sherman Crab
  • the FV4211 (first vehicle fitted with Chobham armour)
All a bit niche but very interesting to those of us who are interested in such things...

FWIW, the only British tanks on en.wikipedia without an image appear to be:
TOG1
Morris-Martel
Tank, Cruiser, Mk VII Cavalier (A24) ([[Cavalier tank]])

But then, of course, there may be ones that don't have an article yet!

Cheers,
Magnus

Dear Wikimedia UK mailing list,

We have been given some free off peak weekday tickets to the tank museum in Dorset.

I have already Emailed those of our Wiki Loves Monuments participants who opted in to further events, so apologies if this is a repeat, but if anyone here fancies taking photographs of tanks, send me your snail mail address and I will send you a ticket

Regards
