The most powerful tank engine available at that time was the German MTU MB 873 Ka-501 of the Leopard 2 and the Mk. 7 was designed to use this engine by using the chassis of the Leopard 2. In 1984 work commenced at Vickers Defence Systems on a new main battle tank which became the Mk. 7.
The Vickers Mk 7 consisted of a third generation Vickers Valiant turret mounted on a Krauss-Maffei-supplied chassis that in the prototype is essentially that of the Leopard 2 MBT. The tank had a Marconi digital fire control system, an SFIM panoramic sight and a Philips 2nd Gen thermal imager. [6]

Vickers was a pioneer in producing airliners, early examples being converted from Vimy bombers. Post-WWII, Vickers went on to manufacture the piston-engined Vickers VC.1 Viking airliner, the Viscount and Vanguard turboprop airliners and (as part of BAC) the VC10 jet airliner, which was used in RAF service as an aerial refuelling tanker until 2013.
