During 1941 the British Army considered there was a need for a tank with a large calibre gun and heavy armour. This led to the A33 being built in Britain and to an order being placed in America for 8,500 T14 Tanks. The T14 was essentially a heavily armoured M4 Sherman Tank incorporating many features of the M6 Heavy Tank. Two pilot models were completed in 1943 and this second one was sent direct to Britain in 1944 via the Chester Tank Depot. By this time British and American views had changed and the complete project was cancelled. This is the only example to have survived. It is missing part of its side-skirts.

The tank was one of a batch imported from Poland by McGregor and Budge Haulage, and offered for sale to private collectors. It was purchased by ITDU for filming during LAW 80 anti-tank trials, and was expected to be destroyed as a target. However, the Museum’s existing T-34-85, which was in poor condition with no engine, gearbox or internal fittings, was used instead and this vehicle consequently added to the collection. It is complete, except for the radio, gunner’s sight and secondary armament. All instrument panels, instructions and stamps are in Polish. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
According to other sources this ex-Polish T-34 was purchased by the ITDU at Warminster from the Budge organisation which imported it into the country, and that it suffered superficial damage during trials of the LAW 80 aiming rifle. It was put on the museum books in 1987 and underwent restoration in 2001. It is in running order and took part in Tankfests 2006, 2009 and 2010.

This is a Polish built T-55K command tank that was used by the 5th Iraqi Mechanised Division (source: Museum Vehicle Record). Its label reads as follows: “This tank has been fitted with extra armour around the front and sides on both turret and hull. One armour pad has been cut open to reveal he multi-layer arrangement inside which consists of alternate plates of steel, rubber and aluminium. This is intended to defeat modern HEAT projectiles. Trials in the USA indicate that, crude as it appears, this system works quite well. However it increases the weight of the tank and reduces performance while the counter-balance, at the rear of the turret, suggests that it is affected by the extra weight. The sectioned armour pad is above the driver’s hatch. Unless the turret is in this position, and the pod raised as shown, the driver would be trapped”.
This tank was moved into storage from the Post War Hall in November 2011 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).

This is a Chinese built version of the T-54. It was manufactured in 1984 and is typical of a late production Type 69-II (source: Museum Vehicle Record). It was captured in Iraq, which had started to purchase the Type 69 in 1983, after which substantial deliveries followed. This exhibit was captured during the Gulf War and it appears to have served as a command tank. It is displayed with mannequins representing two members of the crew. The crude plumbing on its left side was designed to duct smoke from the exhaust and release it at the front of the tank as a smoke screen.
This tank was moved into storage from the Post War Hall in November 2011 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).

This Cavalier was recovered from an Army range at Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire in 1985. It came from Larkhill and was a Gunner’s Observation Post (OP) tank in the 9th Armoured Division during its short service life (source: P.-O. Buan/SCTR). It is little more than a rusted wreck, missing its main armament, most roadwheels, tracks, and other components. It was recovered by a team led by Major Gillman, with alternative hard targets taking its place; there are traces of markings on the hull front of 9th Armoured Division which used it for training 1943-4 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).

This Mark 13 started life as a Mark 8. It was then up-gunned and up-armoured into a Mark 10 before being finally converted into a Mark 13 by the addition of the ranging machine gun and infrared vision equipment. It was the last Centurion gun tank to fire its main gun in the British Army. (source: Museum Vehicle Record).
This Centurion served in BAOR with 9/12 Royal Lancers and 1RTR before being moved to 17 BVD in June 1970, then on to CVD Ludgershall in August 1970. In October 1970 it was at 38 Central Workshops REME before returning to Ludgershall in February 1971. From February 1972 it served with the RAC Centre Gunnery School at Lulworth, before being discharged from service through QM Bovington in March 1975 “being manned by 3RTR” and then being ‘issued’ to the Museum. (Source: Record Cards).
This was the last Centurion in service with the Royal Tank Regiment. It had its last firing on Lulworth Range on 22 July 1974. In January 1986 it was involved in Simfire trials at Bovington. It was on display in the Tamiya Hall as recently as 2006.

This tank was originally built as a Centurion Mark 3, to contract 6/FV/3891 dated 7 February 1952. The contractor was Director General of Ordnance Factories and involved a total of 450 tanks (cut back from an original order for 650). The first 377 (09BA28 to 13BA04) were completed as Mark 3 with the co-axial 7.92mm Besa, the remaining 73 (13BA05 to 13BA77) as Mark 5 with the .30 Browning. It was registered in service on 22 September 1952. Its early history is not recorded but a later card records it as being ‘Recovered’ (suggesting that it had spent some time on a target range) in 1975 and passing to HQ and Admin Wing, School of Infantry at Warminster. 27 Command Workshops REME, based at Warminster, is known to have converted three redundant Centurions to Range Target Tanks by sealing all apertures and laying on as much additional armour as possible. Various regiments are shown as operating this tank while acting as the demonstration battalion at Warminster including, in April 1984, 1st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, from November 1984, 1st Battalion Worcester & Sherwood Foresters Regiment and, in August 1986, 2nd Battalion Royal Green Jackets. The tanks were used as mobile targets to train infantry in anti-tank operations using the Milan and Carl Gustav, firing inert projectiles. There is a possibility that 09BA97 was at Larkhill in 2003, possibly acting as a moving target for Swingfire. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
This tank was moved into storage from beside one of the museum entrance roads in November 2011 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).

The Conway was an experimental tank destroyer, also known as FV4004. It was meant to equip British armoured formations in response to the Soviet Josef Stalin III Heavy Tank, pending the introduction of the Conqueror Heavy Tank. This was the only prototype built, based on the hull of a Centurion Mark III Tank. It had a four man crew and was armed with one 120mm L1A1 gun and a machine-gun. Final assembly was undertaken at ROF Barnbow. It arrived from the Royal Military College at Shrivenham in April 1969. It was displayed at one time towing a mono-trailer.

The FV4202 was an experimental vehicle based on the hull of a Centurion tank. Three were built early in 1956 by Leyland Motors. Its purpose was to investigate some features of the proposed design for the FV4201 Chieftain Tank programme. These included a new design of turret which dispensed with the need for a mantlet, and the provision of a reclining driver’s position. It does not have its original gun fitted and it is missing its side-skirts.

This vehicle was put together as a target to test a millimetre-wave-radar targeting system; a major part of the hull (minus a piece tacked on the back) appears to come from one of the FV4202 40-ton Centurion prototypes used for Chieftain development (source: J. Web/AFVNDB). It has also been suggested that it was put together as a visual representation of a Soviet T-72 or similar tank; it is known as ‘Russian Concept Vehicle’ in its Museum Vehicle Record.

Correspondence in accessions files identifies this vehicle as G1, one of six prototypes ordered in June 1959 for troop trials. It was built by ROF Leeds (production was shared with Vickers). Delivered on 15th February 1962, it was sent to Lulworth for gunnery trials (with FVRDE) instead of vehicle W6, until November 1962. This revealed faults in the sighting system, and it was returned to Leeds for rework. The gun is the prototype L11 120mm. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
This Chieftain was put on the museum books in 1967. When previously on display in the museum it was fitted with Simfire tank gunnery simulation equipment.

This AVRE has been adapted as a driver training vehicle, known as a ‘Wedge’. Its Record Cards show that its Date in Service was 24 December 1968, at Ludgershall. It was at Chertsey in 1969, Vickers in 1971, and back at Ludgershall in February 1972, on 17 BVD stock in May 1972, and back again at Ludgershall in December 1972. It served, presumably as a gun tank, with Royal Hussars and 4/7 RDG in 1973. It underwent a conversion in 1976 then served with 3 RTR (probably at Tidworth or Warminster) in 1976. It was at 38 Central Workshop and CVD Ludgershall in 1979. It then underwent another conversion before going to RAC Centre Bovington in 1980, 38 Central Workshop for a ‘planned repair’ in 1985, and Ludgershall in 1986. It was at 18 Base Workshop and Ludgershall then went to 40 Army Engr Sp Gp, 32 Army Engr Regt and 77 Armd Eng Sqn in 1987; presumably at about this time it was converted to an AVRE. Its records end at this point, and it was put on the museum books in 2008.

Late in 1942 consideration was given to using the Cromwell Tank chassis as the basis for a heavier assault tank. English Electric produced two pilot models based on a basic A27 Cromwell hull and turret with added armour. One was fitted with the T1 track and suspension used on the American M6 Heavy Tank. This was the second pilot model built, fitted with a new scissors-action suspension with widened Cromwell-type tracks (known as "R/L Heavy" type) and different side skirts. No further examples were built. This one was put on the museum books in 1949. It was on display in the museum car park for some years.

07BA70 was one of three pre-production tanks designated FV221 Caernarvon built by Vickers and the Royal Ordnance Factory Dalmuir from December 1951. In September 1954, as Conqueror prototype P7 and running without a turret, it reappeared fitted with a Parsons gas turbine engine (P1962.89) and trials were conducted for about five years. Subsequently the hull, with the gas turbine removed, was used as the basis of a dynamometer vehicle by the Military Engineering Experimental Establishment (MEXE) at Hurn near Christchurch.

It is the Command Post version of the AMX VTT, and is complete with tools, 18 sights, internal communications, headsets and an AN-VRC 16-18 radio post. It was transported by H.M.S. Aghelia from Ouistreham to Marchwood on 21 July 1987. Also included in the exchange were an AA-10 missile, a manpack radio and a Hotchkiss Jeep.
This AMX was on display in the Tamiya Hall for some time but was moved into storage in November 2011. It is believed to be in running order.

When a good condition T-34 was purchased by ITDU for filming during LAW 80 anti-tank trials, it was expected to be destroyed as a target. However, this T-34, which was in poor condition, with no engine, gearbox or internal fittings was used instead and the other T-34 consequently added to the collection. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record for other T-34).
This T-34 was put on the museum books in 1985 and had been acquired from the Royal Military College of Science at Shrivenham. It is presumed to be the one seen at Shrivenham in 1984, which was missing its left-hand track and sprocket plus its main gun and mantlet. Marked ‘GONE’ in museum record. Its fate in the trials and its current location are not known.
