A41 Centurion, Mk. V

Aircraft & Exhibits, 1949, Cosford, Hangar Four, X003-6774

The Centurion came into service just too late to see combat in the Second World War, but combat use in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle-East Arab-Israeli wars more than vindicated the design. It was an outstanding success in terms of a well-balanced mix of armament, armour and mobility.
