Beschreibung: A Mark IX Duck amphibious tank drives into a pond, swims halfway across and reverses back out. Next, from the middle of the pond, it turns in its own length and comes back out nose first. A Mark IV Hermaphrodite (a female on which the right-hand sponson has been replaced by a Male sponson with a 6-pounder gun) pushes over a small tree, then drives back over the tree so that the tank tilts, showing that it is well-balanced. A Medium B tank demonstrates its ability to turn in its own length and change direction sharply. The Hermaphrodite continues to demonstrate its balance techniques.
Tank trials, probably at Bovington Camp, autumn 1918.
