Summary

[edit]
Description

British WW2 era Heavy Infantry Tank Built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage Company. The Mark III was the first model to carry the 6 pounder gun and to have walkways over the tracks. 675 were built. Formerly owned by The Churchill Trust, this tank had been converted from a gun tank to an AVRE, and had applique armour fitted to both the hull and turret. Rescued from a range in relatively poor condition, it was restored as a Churchill Tank Mk III* with a 75mm gun. The Applique armour has been retained but with the AVRE fittings removed. Fully operational, she is seen in the Kuwait Arena during TankFest 2019. ‘The Tank Museum’, Bovington Camp, Dorset, UK.
