Found a link to a Photobucket gallery of range targets on Salisbury Plain. Phew! Lots of scarce examples splattered with bright paint like some urban underpass covered with graffiti. I see a late Ram, several Cavaliers and Centaurs.

Humber PIG as well

It appears some of these are a Chieftain, M41 Walker Bulldog, Cruiser Comet, Challanger I, FV430s, but I am no expert

That is a Chieftain, there are also Comet, Centaur, M47 etc. There are no M41, Cavalier or Challenger on the Plain.

It appears almost all the Humber Pigs are ex Northern Ireland also a few Centurian ARV's, a Abbot SPG , FV432 ARV or Fitters vehicle , the old stuff should not be out there

There is very little of the old stuff left compared to 20 years ago. Not all destroyed, my Sherman came from that range.
