Errrrrr, wait a minute, Vickers Light, Matilda, Valentine, Churchill,
Cromwell, Comet, Crusader, A9, Cruiser Mk IV, to a total of 24,803.

So that'd be no T40, T50, T60, T70, T80, BT7, T34/76 (arguably the best tank
of WWII), T34/85, KV1 (A, B, C), JS1, 2, 3.

These are 60's/70's vehicles too, so chronologically out of order from the
foregoing, I am puzzled that FV 601 Saladin is bracketed as it is an
Armoured Car mounting a L3A1 or L5A1 76mm gun. Saracen (FV 603, 604, 610,
611) is an APC. Perhaps in this list should include Centurion and
Chieftain, both neither "light" or "medium".
