It has been reported that two Leopards were donated by the Canadian Army (source: Flickr).This is an ex-Canadian Leopard C2, a Leopard 1A3 chassis mounting a Leopard 1A5 turret. It arrived at the museum in about 2006 and took part in Tankfest 2006. It is in full running order and was one of three Leopards that took part in Tankfest 2009. It was put on display in the British Steel Hall in about November 2011 (source: Museum Vehicle Record).
