If you're really interested in Canadian Centurions, check out the threads on Modern Canadian Vehicles. Tons of information from very knowledgeable people. Cheers, Dan. PS: Can't comment on that paint scheme for the Centurion in Moncton. Last edited by Dan Martel; 25-06-18 at 01:19. |

Centurion Mk 11
Here is a 1973 image of a Canadian Centurion Mk 11 in Germany. The CWM example was from LETE and therefore had been equipped to the latest Mk 11 modifications and this photograph shows it when it was still on outdoor display.

Very cool, thanks Ed. Did we upgrade the tanks in Canada to the L7 105mm or did they all remain 20lbrs until retirement?

Not wanting to steal Ed's thunder, but I thought that a picture is worth a thousand words. During the summer of 1978, a young 2nd Lieutenant of The RCR was going through Phase III infantry officer training at CFB Gagetown, part of which involved directing tank fire. Each candidate was given one 20-lbr round to give to the crew, after which the round would be fired at a target, selected by the candidate, about a mile and a half away. There was lots of 20-lbr TP-T or training purpose-tracer available to fire. So, in 1978, it was 20-lbr's for Gagetown.
The first photo shows our hero with his very own tank round. The second shows skid loads of 20-lbr TP-T. |
