No I would say this is a COMET by track chassis and turret shape, leftover used as target practice http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ef/Comet_tank_1.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_tank produced by Leyland motors -- Last edit: 2014-04-17 13:02:27 |

oldest tank still in use with 4th tank regiment in 1961, quite possible target when "shot" in Berlin 1964 http://www.4and7royaltankregiment.com/1953-1961.html -- Last edit: 2014-04-17 14:35:29 |

1954,was the last year the British army used comet tanks,so must be a hard target.The writing on the side of the tank would have been its war department registration. |

This tank is still very much alive in the film , it is in very good condition and moves at speed . |

Although the hull and turret are correct for a Comet, the gun is way too short, possibly it is an old one used as a driver training vehicle. |

looks like 2 pounder gun 40mm instead of usual 77mm this is document of british standby during The Berlin Crisis of 1961. -- Last edit: 2014-04-20 13:15:31 |
