I have first hand documentary film evidence of tanks being tested at the Wm Foster & Co site which is now Tritton road in Lincoln. In the film there is a section concentrating on Little Willie, painted on the side is "Little Wille Built Sept 1916" this appears to contradict the articles statement that Little Willie was completed in December 1915.

The 1915 date is correct; the month is more dubious. September 1916 was of course the month tanks were first used in combat; this seems a probable explanation for the mistake.--MWAK 16:44, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
