From the Operation History of the 6th Armoured (1st Hussars) with Ram IIs:

"6 Aug. 42: The regiment is moved to the Hove-Brighton area, in the Sussex region, and now becomes part of South Coast defenses. A rotating schedule is introduced. One squadron trains during 1st 1/2 of day, the second squdron during the 2nd 1/2, and the third squadron mans AA and observation posts.
29 Aug. 42: First excercise with 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade.
Sep. 42: Regiment moves around to various training centers in the area of South Downs.
Oct. 42: Training focuses on tactics.
19 Oct. 42: To Warren Camp, Crowborough. Poor terrain limits training.
7 Dec. 42: Brigade excersice boggs down in mud. Training in unditching vehicles would later prove invaluble in NW-Europe.
29 Dec. 42: Regiment moves back to the Hove area. "

Could this tank have been used in similar training exercises?
Hove has a couple of broad streets that could have been like this in wartime - have to try and find some old pics.........
