The "real" Centurion tank
The Centurion design project began in 1943 to compete against the German "Tiger" tanks. However, the first Centurions did not appear until 1945, too late to take part in WWII battles.

The British Army eventually replaced the Centurion with the Chieftan tank in the 1960s. 67328187 Read more
