Vickers Vigilant
Cutaway display model of the Vigilant at the Mikkeli infantry museum.
- ... that the British military did not want to order the Vickers Vigilant anti-tank missile because the Ministry of Supply wanted to disband the design group? Source: forbat, several places starting 213 and ending around 240. the entire sequence of events is the sort of traji-comedy only the British can truly pull off
- ALT1: ... that in spite of being a man portable weapon, the Vickers Vigilant anti-tank missile was only ordered into production because it could be fit to the Ferret armoured car? Source: forbat, from about 230 to 236

5x expanded by Maury Markowitz (talk). Self-nominated at 18:13, 24 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Vickers Vigilant; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Maury Markowitz: Honestly, I don't know if this is new enough. It took more than 7 days to 5x expand it at the time of the nomination. You'll likely have to bring it to the discussion board to talk about it but I'm not sure if this can pass. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:17, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
It took 16 days from the start of the expansion to expanding it by the required factor of five. The rules allow for 7 days. There are often exceptions made to this but more than twice as long stretches it. Sorry. I suggest you submit this for GA review and within 7 days of this succeeding, it qualifies for DYK.
