The 5.2-ton Light Tank Mark VI appeared in 1936 armed with a single Vickers .303 machine gun. The Mark VIB was intended for a reconnaissance role and became the most widely used of British light tanks in Second World War. The Light Tank series, namely the Mark I to VI and the Carden Loyd carriers, utilised the Horstmann suspension which was later used in the Centurion and Chieftain MBTs.
