Damian90 Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 One of the more interesting projects was Chieftain 800/900. Also interesting is the way how special armor is installed, seems to be exactly same method as in case of Challenger 1. Actually turret seems to have the exactly same basic structure as in Challenger 1. Another interesting project was so called "Aluminium" Chieftain. Some other interesting projects. Vickers Mk4. Vickers Mk7. Vickers Mk7/2. It seems that Vickers Mk7 turret was a direct predecessor of Challenger 2 turret. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpat5570 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Dear Sir, I am looking for pictures of the interior of the Challenger 1 tank for a book I wish to publish. I was wondering, are these your own pictures? Is there a copyright on them? Please get in touch, thanks, Garry Paton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
