Can anyone think of a name shared by a British military tank and a post-war British bomber aircraft? I think what is needed is an actual model name rather than a manufacturer such as Vickers.
Thanks in advance

Valiant Tank

Many thanks, zen.
That certainly fits the bill so far as the way I asked the question. I should have said that I have a picture of the tank and it looks much more modern than the Valiant. Sorry!!

What is wrong with Vickers??

[meolsdenys]

The picture corresponds to the leopard tank, but all my research so far describes the leopard as German. Was it used by the British under another name

Was there a Leopard bomber?

Further research reveals that Vickers utilised the Leopard chassis to produce their Mark 7 tank which was never more than a prototype. I think we already know what they christened it! End of thread I think.
