Yes, that '15ft..' for length must have been a typo. 6m was correct-ish, however.Son of a gun-ner wrote:Roy, the length of a Matilda tank is a pretty important "basic" dimension lol.
One example, on both sites it has the length in feet and inches, and also meters, but the conversion is well off, and it's a case of which ones correct.
My point is that one should double check online dimensions, but with the warning that the above mentioned sites can't be used to check one or the other.
Generally, the team at that website are very experienced, an have been selected from various countries and backgrounds (military, scientific, engineer) to bring expertise to the site. I guess they missed this error, but
the info they put out in the main is well sourced, and verifiable from a range of alternate sources.
I prefer, personally, to check as many sources as I can and average them out.
By basic dimensions, I meant that if the H/W/L are correct, the other dimensions are easy enough to estimate for scale purposes.
