1: Larkhill Live Firing Range, Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA), Wiltshire, South West England, Britain (Until 1985)
2: The Tank Museum - Reserve Collection, Bovington, Dorset, South West England, Britain (Current location)


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).
