timbo Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Apparently this has recently been 'scrapped', certainly it is no longer there - does anybody know where it has gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 and that one went where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 The Saladin now at Lulworth is the one that was loaned by the QRL home headquarters to the Gunnery School; it was in the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks in Grantham but was moved to Lulworth some years ago. It is now painted sand with a spurious call sign on the turret side. The one it replaced at Lulworth is at the Tank Museum awaiting restoration. Not sure where the one from Imphal went but it didn’t go to Lulworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 So maybe scrapped (or at withams!) - had the name El Alamein on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

challenger Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Saladin at Allenby was replaced with a Scorpion and the bed it was sat in has been modified with the removal of the word Saladin. The Scorpion looks like it will end up in the same state as its predecessor. :embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Rather sad outcome particularly as they had gone to the trouble to provide a named plinth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
