The Vickers-Carden-Loyd light amphibious tank (designated the A4E11 and A4E12 by the War Office),^[1] was a series of British experimental pre-World War II light tanks (resembling tankettes), which, although not taken into British service, were sold to a number of other countries which produced modified versions which were then taken into service.
