Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This Centurion was built as a Mark 2 at the Royal Ordnance Factory, Leeds, and was originally fitted with the 17pdr tank gun. It was converted to a Mark 3 and eventually ended service as a Mark 5. It was acquired in a poor state from a storage dump at the Vehicle Depot, Ludgershall, Wiltshire. It is displayed in two sections after being cut in half at the ROF, Leeds, in a two-year project (from 1982 to 1984) by young apprentices and graduate trainees. This is to graphically demonstrate the conditions and equipment found inside a tank. The exhibit includes a video display, and has a plaque that reads:
