Churchill is coming to UK, bought by a private collecter here, understand it should arrive in August. On reading the catalogue, I seem to remember there were two Churchills?

As far as I know there was only one, a Mk.VII census no. 'T179165/H'. I understand it is not a runner, and it's tracks are seized. Seeing the problems in the Middle East, I cannot imagine anyone letting a ship disembark "a tank", so possibly it was sold on to a British collector?
