As WW2 came to an end, Britain launched it's latest design The A41 Centurion Medium tank. Too late to see action the Centurion has, over the years become simply legendary. It has seen action in many theatres of war, been bought by many nations some of whom still use it today in different variations!!
Some even regard this as Britains first Main Battle Tank although it never held that title which instead was given to Centurions successor the Chieftain.
Powered by the mighty Rolls Royce Meteor engine, the reliable and dependable Centurion was the first tank to meet and exceed the design requirements set by the War Department and, over the years has been upgraded into many different variations all of which have been successful with this 'Grand old gal' somehow keeping up with developments around it.
