The Whippet, or more properly the Medium Tank, Mark A, was the only medium British tank to see service in WWI. It was fast (8,3mph) but hard to drive as it had two engines. See www.tankmuseum.org/museum-online/vehicles/object-e1949-328

The Mark II tank differed from the Mark I in not having the rear wheels for steering. Only 50 Mark IIs and IIIs were made, and they were only used for training purposes as the steel had not been hardened to make it bullet proof. See www.tankmuseum.org/museum-online/vehicles/object-e1949-362
