Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
This Centurion is a Mark 5 observation post vehicle; it has a label that reads: “Royal Artillery batteries supporting armoured formations used it as an Armoured Observation Post (AOP)... The only distinguishing feature was the extra antennae fitted for their communications equipment. As the Army replaced Centurions with Chieftain tanks at the end of the 1960s, the Centurion AOP was used less and less. Two tanks were issued to each battery but were difficult to maintain and rarely left barracks. In the 1980s, when the sophisticated Challenger was introduced, the Royal Artillery’s Centurions were retired in favour of ‘Warrior’ armoured fighting vehicles. This particular tank was used for driver training and consists of a Mark 3 hull with a Mark 5 turret.”
