Rick, She was sent shopping in Norwich with some cash on the day of the arrival, she figured something was up, I did talk her round and even said it would make a great outside 'Jacuzzi' which thinking about it is not actually a bad idea!!

She did take this picture a week earlier while standing on a bollard so this must prove she has a slight interest ????.

Default Canadian Centaur

A Canadian tank Centaur equipped with Deep Wading Trunks (hoods crossing) runs on the beach Courseulles sur Mer (JUNO BEACH). It carries a sled trailer called Porpoise Ammunition Sledge. This sled was either dragged by tanks: Sherman, Churchill, Cromwell or Centaur. It was widely used during landing operations.

Default Brave man

HI Kevin,

I know you were working on it but this is wauuuw bolt and nut restoration of the Centaur. The fast mount of work I see that needs to be done is amazing it puts you into the group of very brave men. Looking forward to see more pictures in the future. I think p&w show 2013, little to early for you

I though that having Dingo's and Ferrets flying was something but this is amazing. Wondering only how the landing would be if you are inside.

Gents, Check out that Histomil website, thousands of hi resolution photo's, Adrian, Yes royal Marine but clearly marked 'Canadian' at the front.

Peter, I need to crack on with it after the weather clears, Your website milmarket has certainly put me in touch with useful spares for my projects, I would recommend people give it a look.

Where? All I can see written on the front is it's T number. You can't rely on captions....

Default The red white red recognition marks

Guys, I was always under the inpression the 'red white red' recognition marks were to signify Canadian?, or were they applied to British vehicles too?, or maybe that is not 'red white red' in this particulat Centaur picture?.......... I am no expert.
