Vickers suggested a design in late 1943 for an improved version of the Valentine tank with a larger three-man turret and many other changes. Ruston and Hornsby completed this pilot model in 1944, made from mild steel (the plaque reads: “CAUTION UNARMOURED”). It was designated A38. Following unsuccessful trials the project was terminated in 1945. The pilot model was put on the museum books in 1952. It was on display in the museum car park for some years.
