| Re: HM Centurion Mk 6
| Regarding the upcoming Centurion Mk6, the model is only marked with a red triangle on the left turret bin, and no unit is mentioned. Mk6s were upgunned Mk5s, and were converted from about 1956 to approx. 1960, I believe. Almost all conversions seem to have involved BAOR vehicles in Germany.
Can any of the British (or maybe non-British) members in this forum make an educated guess regarding the unit and period this Centurion might belong to? Is the red triangle a marking for "A Squadron" (I canīt see clearly the marking in Hawk's pictures)?
Thanks in advance for any intel. | It is a red triangle with 4B inside it. |
