The Morris-Martel was a British inter-war tankette intended for reconnaissance, eight were constructed for the Experimental Mechanized Force and were tested on Salisbury plain in 1927.
From 1926 to 1927 a further ten Morris-Martel tanks were built with armoured plate, mainly being the two-man versions as the original one-man tankette proved impossible for the driver to effectively control and fire the gun at the same time. Both types were armed. However, the Morris-Martel tanks had problems with the steering mechanism.
