Chieftan ID?

[ploughman]

Any ideas as to what this is, Where and what is unusual about it?

 

I am told it is a bit of a bodge of a Chieftan in Hartlepool but other than that I know nothing.

It's at Heugh battery.

I visited in 2012. The Chieftain sported a Dulux green and black gloss camo scheme. There were a number of other vehicles there - I recall a very tired Abbot a Ferret and a Saracen.

Would that be the Heugh Battery Museum Stillbrew Chieftain? Minus rear side bins, rear track guards, lights and bins. No gun crutch either. I wonder if it still has an engine or runs? I bet that's a real dummy under it!

 

More interestingly, what's that green trailer in the distance? A WW2 2ton thing?

 

You should check out the Heugh Battery Museum, they have loads of really interesting artillery pieces, some sand-coloured too, and trailer-type things!
