Thanks for the replies as usual guys, I understand most of this has been discussed on the forum previously and is available with some research, but I do appreciate the quick answers. Hopefully since Mike isn't that far from me we can get together and talk "tanks" one day when he's in the area.
Regards John

Ahh! Slow old me -
 - had not put two and two together until now, John: I'm right in deducing that you are the owner of the ex-Australian, ex-'Courage Under Fire', ex-Fox Studio Centurion-cum-Abrams in the faaaar west of Canada. How is progress with the restoration?And I will make the pilgrimage and visit one of these days. Mike

No Mike, that tank is owned by my friend Mark, he has re-done it again as an ersatz Abrams for use in film work. I am working on a different project at the moment, currently on the down low. But would be great if you are in the neighborhood to stop in at the shop for a visit.
Regards John

Apologies for my erroneous assumption, John, but now I have two reasons/people to visit in your neck of the woods.

Hi, I'm a volunteer "fixer" at the Ontario Regiment Museum in Oshawa, Ontario. We have a project to get one of our Canadian Cent's up and running this year. Not pristine, but running. We just bought a nice Mk 4b engine for it.
I'm a newbie at this so I have been trying to figure out what Mk of Cent we have. It has the armoured fuel tank on the back, a 20 lbr gun, but it it doesn't appear to have the voltage regulator box in the hull for the engine-mounted generator. I have searched on what the various Mks are but it's confusing. Can anybody help me with what we have here? Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,
A couple of questions to assist with the ID: Does it have the additional armour plate welded to the upper glacis plate? Is the co-ax mounting for a .30 cal Browning MG? Is there a hatch or a welded plate on the rear of the turret? Regards Mike
