Interesting, Alan agreed to store the tank before he found out it was the one he served on in Vietnam as a Gunner, small world indeed!

The Lancers webite confirms that their vehicle is 169026. There are some details on the Lancers site which aren't quite correct re Centurion. Happy to comment if you wanted to compare with your info at the VVF Museum. (Happy to discuss with Lancers Museum as well.) Regards, Bruce Hi Col,

Would welcome any info on its service?? Regards Col I was under the impression that the tank at the Lancers Museum was 169126 and believe it never served in Vietnam.
