Description
Matilda Scorpion Flail Tank (BR054)
The mine-clearing flail was designed by South African officer, Major A. S. du Toit. Du Toit was the driving force behind the first Flail tank built, the Matilda Scorpion. Its first significant action was at El Alamein.
The Flail concept was devised as one means of overcoming the problems that Mines posed. Mines could be used clandestinely, planted on roads to catch advancing enemy out, or more obviously in organised minefields, suitably marked, to channel attackers in other directions.
