This Churchill Mark VII was the last Churchill Mark VII to be built; it came straight from the factory to the Museum and, in terms of mileage, is virtually brand new. It was put on the museum books in 1949. It has a plaque on the front of the turret that reads:
CHURCHILL VII
T347848/M
THE LAST TANK OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE
BUILT BY
VAUXHALL MOTORS LIMITED
LUTON, BEDS. |
It is painted with the markings of the 34th Armoured Brigade in Normandy in the summer of 1944. It is displayed as though it were a Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank, complete with towed fuel trailer, but has never been fitted with a flamethrower.
