Old Git Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Very, very nice!! And dear old Ajax in the background as well. It would be nice to see both the old girls together! I read somewhere, can't remember where, that they discovered in the field that the return rollers where hardly necessary on the Comet. Anyone else read that or can add a comment on that?

g0ozs Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was lucky enough to see them together waiting to enter the arena on the Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 the cromwell and comet were next to each other all week on the tank museum pitch, I also managed to get the centurion owner to park next to the comet for a few days so all the british cruisers were lined up. next year we may have a charioteer running as well and if we could come up with a crusader we would have the cruiser tanks lined up from start to finish, i also know the owners of a cavalier and centaur but they won't be ready anytime soon but maybe one day ! rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Git Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 what a photograph that would make. It would also make a truly fantastic poster for the workshop wall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Some years ago at W&P I had the privilege of trundling around the arena in a late mark Cent while a Chieftain, Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 did the same. 4 (or 3 depending on your view) generations of British MBTs on the move at the same time.

AndyFowler Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Something went wrong... Best video I could get on the day I'm afraid , to John and Rick thank you both for allowing me to explore your wonderfull restorations , a real credit to you both ! Amazes me that chaps like my Great Uncle Ron went into battle in such cramped hot and noisy conditions and faced death on a daily basis and even enjoyed some of it ! Hats off to all tank crews back then and now ! You have my respect and gratitude ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-boy Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) lol not if you were there ! meteor engined tanks are not very stealthy :-D I've been away and only just seen the post, so a bit behind the times, but had to say that a Centurion got within yards of our echelon position on Salisbury Plain back in the early 70s without being heard. It approached on tick-over with the wind in the right direction, but I was gobsmacked how it got so close undetected. All things are possible!
