Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
‘William the Conqueror’ stood for many years as one of the collection of gate guardian vehicles at the Ludgershall vehicle depot. When that depot closed down as part of defence cuts the vehicle was purchased by Pounds scrapyard of Portsmouth. When seen there a large amount of ship’s anchor chain had been placed on top of the turret to prevent access by vandals. During its service life it served mostly at FVRDE and took part in trials in trying to lower the infrared signature from the exhaust pipes; it still has large round exhaust pipes fitted. (Source: R. Griffin/Conqueror).
It was displayed for some years on a bridgelayer bridge in front of the museum; it has now been moved inside for restoration. Currently it is in poor condition, showing signs of severe rust and other damage.
