She is seen broadside with her right side to the camera, the census number T10268 painted on her armoured engine housing and on the flail boom, her flat-topped operator’s cab in place of a turret, and strands of barbed wire stretched between posts in the foreground below a bare, rolling hillside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Baron was a Matilda II infantry tank converted to clear paths through minefields, using heavy chains on a spinning rotor to beat the ground ahead and set off mines before the tank reached them. Developed by AEC from the ideas of the South African officer Major A. S. du Toit, it went through several versions in 1942, and the final Baron IIIA had its turret replaced by an operator’s cab and its rotor driven by two Bedford engines mounted in armoured boxes on either side of the hull. Sixty were built by Curran Brothers of Cardiff, but the side engines made the Baron too wide for Bailey bridges and landing craft, so it was used only for training and demonstrations, paving the way for the Sherman Crab flail used from D-Day onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis print is ideal for Royal Armoured Corps, Royal Engineers and British Army veterans and anyone with a connection to the mine-clearing specialists of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Taken:
