Centurion Arrives in BC

[Mike Cecil]

Andy,

Interesting list and quite useful, thanks for posting it. Someone put in a lot of work to compile it.

One aspect to note regarding the Australian vehicles listed: the first 60 (169000 to 169059) were not built as Mk.5, but Mk.3, and such items as the dozer equipped and driver training vehicles were originally built as MBTs.

The cards also throw up the ZR series, which I didn't see on that list. These were the tanks that had originally been allocated T numbers but were swung over to the new system when it came into existence circa 1950.

I didn't see the MS series on there, either, which I understand were vehicles for foreign sales in the late 50s and early 60s. The Australian bridgelayers were in that series.

Perhaps the Brits on the forum could provide more comment?

Regards

Mike
