I do not think you will get a tank in one if that is your intention...what I would say is..the coxswain is very brave dude standing in front of two heavy machine guns...cheers TomB

Hi Guys,

Tom B is a wee bit worried that you cannot get a tank into our last LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel) . Don’t worry Tom…you’re not meant to. Its primarily meant for troops (personnel) and/or small vehicles such as a Jeep and Trailer.

As for the 2 x heavy machine guns…Actually they are .30 cal. machine guns and classed more as a light or medium machine gun.

I do agree however that the cox’ns were brave buggers even if you discount trigger-happy gunners!!! Best wishes,


Andy C.
