In Tripoli Not sure what to interpret from the tank name - 1950s casual racism?? Or that particular tank was worse than the rest?? Two more same/similar in the sequence |

here DSL, have a go of ID it http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/A27L_Cruiser_MkVII_Centaur.php http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/A27M_Cruiser_MkVIII_Cromwell.php http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/A24_Cruiser_MkVII_Cavalier.php your only challenge is to figure it if this is a Cavalier, Centaur or a Cromwell -- Last edit: 2017-01-21 22:57:18 |

If you leave the responsibility to me, I'll just toss a coin a couple of times .... |

DSL let's get this methodical if you compare the graphics of the 3 types Crowwell (and later Centaur) had that distinct air intake behind the turret does the one you post it have it ? http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/A27M_Cruiser_MkVIII_Cromwell.php -- Last edit: 2017-01-21 23:05:56 |

and the biggest clue for the ID Centaur had no hull MG while the Cromwell did have it Centaur http://tank-photographs.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/centaur-tank.jpg Cromwell Link to "www.tanks-encyclopedia.com" |

So Cromwell?? I'll see if there's anything showing intake (or not) behind turret ..... |

Cromwell it is no wonder most britsh tanks were ditched after american Sherman were available... even in middle of war they still have bolted turrets instead of welding and they had crazy designations too, here the complete one /vehicle_549415-Leyland-A27M-Cruiser-Tank-MkVIII-Cromwell-MkIV-1943.html -- Last edit: 2017-01-21 23:25:11 |

No clear shot of rear of turret to show intake (or not). 2nd thumb is as good as it gets. |
