Scorpion is the light tank member of the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) or CVR(T) family. It has a crew of 3, is air portable and has a maximum road speed of 50 mph. The main armament is a 76 mm L23A1 gun firing fixed QF ammunition. Scorpion has now been withdrawn from service with the British Army. Early vehicles had a flotation screen fitted. This is not normally seen in more recent vehicles.
