The Light Tank Mark I to Mark V were a series of related designs of light tank produced by Vickers for the British Army during the interwar period. Between the First and Second World Wars, the British produced a series of similar light tanks. They saw use in training, and in limited engagements with British Empire units such as the South African Army during the East African Campaign of 1941.

  • Els tancs lleugers Vickers, oficialment denominats Light Tank Mark I-VI, van ser una sèrie de tancs lleugers d'origen britànic del període d'entreguerres. El primer model es va dissenyar durant el 1927, per a col·laborar amb la infanteria i fer reconeixement i la versió Mark VI esdevindria un dels blindats més influents de l'època per la seva velocitat, fiabilitat i baix cost. Inicialment aquests tancs eren fabricats per Vickers-Armstrongs Limited però a partir del Mark VI altres companyies també hi participarien, arribant a una xifra d'aproximadament 1.850 tancs muntats entre totes les versions. Els tancs lleugers Vickers serien àmpliament usats durant els primers anys de la Segona Guerra Mundial. Durant la Batalla de França s'intentarien fer servir a primera línia de front i, a causa del seu pobre blindatge i armament, patirien greus baixes. A la Campanya del nord d'Àfrica l'estratègia es va canviar a un rol de suport i van resultar més útils. A partir de 1941 es relegarien a tasques defensives al Mediterrani. A l'Índia també es farien servir com a vehicles de vigilància. (ca)
  • Der Light Tank Mk. I war der erste Ansatz der britischen Streitkräfte, einen leichten Panzer zu bauen. Es wurden von 1929 bis 1931 nur einige wenige Fahrzeuge gebaut. (de)

All were around 5 long tons (5.1 t) in weight and capable of 30 mph (48 km/h) on roads and around 20 mph (32 km/h) cross-country. The British did not expect their light tanks to be used against anything except other light tanks at most and as such armament was a machine gun only—Vickers machine guns firing either a .303 inch or .0.5 inch (12.7 mm) round. Suspension was Horstmann coil spring on bogies. The engine was a Meadows six-cylinder petrol. Up until the Mk V, they were crewed by a driver-commander and gunner. The Mk V had a driver, a gunner and a commander helping on the gun. The various marks were produced in relatively small numbers. By the Mark V, the design was more or less optimised and it was the final development of in the form of the Light Tank Mk VI which was chosen for the British Army expansion programme in expectation of war. The following designations in the sequence Light Tank Mk VII "Tetrarch" and Light Tank Mk VIII "Harry Hopkins" were produced by Vickers but unrelated to the series of light tanks Mk I to Mark VI.

  • イギリスの軽戦車は、戦間期にヴィッカースによりイギリス陸軍向けに生産された。 ヴィッカース軽戦車（Vickers light tank）シリーズは、Mk.IからMk.VIIIまで存在する。Mk.IからMk.VIまでは設計上の関連が深い。Mk.VIIとMk.VIIIはそれまでとは別設計である。 (ja)
  • I Vickers tankette furono una serie di blindati leggeri portata avanti dal Regno Unito durante gli anni trenta, pensati per svolgere compiti di pattugliamento e ordine pubblico nei territori dell'impero coloniale. Inadatti al combattimento a causa di armi e corazze insufficienti, rappresentarono un percorso evolutivo che culminò nell'unico carro armato leggero britannico apprezzabile, il Vickers Mk VI. (it)
  • De Vickers Light Tank was een Britse tank uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Hij is gebaseerd op de Carden Loyd tankette uit de jaren ‘20 en werd ontwikkeld in de jaren ‘30. De tank was zeer mobiel en snel, ook op moeilijk terrein. Daardoor werd het veel gebruikt in de jaren ‘30 overal in het Britse Rijk en ook door andere landen. De bepantsering en bewapening bleek bij het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog echter te licht, en de tanks leden zware verliezen. (nl)
  • 英國Mk.I-V系列輕型坦克包括了Mk.I-V輕型坦克。 在戰間期，英國製造了一系列相似的輕型坦克。它們被用於訓練，並在1941年的期間和一些諸如南非的大英帝国的成員共同進行了少量的作戰。所有這些戰車的重量都在5長噸左右，并在平路上擁有30 mph(50 km/h)的最大速度，越野時則為20 mph (30 km/h)。 因為英國人並不指望他們的輕型坦克能對付除了輕型坦克以外的戰車，因此，它們僅僅安裝了維克斯.50或.303英寸機槍。懸掛採用霍姆斯斜彈簧式。引擎一般是6缸汽油機。除了Mk V，所有這些坦克都只有兩名乘員:車長（兼任駕駛員）和炮手。Mk.V則有三名成員：炮手，車長（要幫助操控機槍），駕駛員。 (zh)
