Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:
[No entry]
Text in Preserved German Tanks Update:
New entry. This Leopard was previously at the Du Moulin barracks at Soesterberg. Then it was moved to Legerplaats Seedorf, Germany. It is painted in the markings of B Company, 101 Tank Battalion, tactical number “B03”. It is painted in a three colour camouflage scheme though the Dutch did not use this scheme on Leopards. The name is pronounced “Barco” which is short for a Bacardi rum – cola mix. (Source: L. Delsing/AFVNDB).
