FV-4101 Charioteer tank
The FV-4101 Charioteer was exported in small numbers to Finland, Austria, Jordania and Lebanon. (some captured and used by the Palestinians)
Who can tell me the exact numbers used by these countries and the years of service. Also photographs and other data are very welcome. greetings Hans Heesakkers |

The picture was taken in South Lebanon around 1982. It shows a Charioteer (in Plo colours ??) as a war monument. That is all info I have got.

Hans, do you have the Charioteer article in Wheels and Tracks 60?
This article says: "Austria 80, Finland 16, Lebanon 19, Jordan 47 (Austrian and Finnish sources state 56 and 38 for their respective countries: were there any transferes between them?)" By 1973, Lebanon had probably 60 (their own shipment, plus second hand Jordanian). Hth, Nuyt Last edited by nuyt; 15-12-04 at 20:18. |
