The Centurion BARV was developed at the Royal Marines Amphibious Trials and Training Unit (ATTURM) at Instow in Devon in the late 1950s and twelve were built, by converting old Centurion gun tanks, by the Royal Ordnance Factory in Leeds. This BARV served at various times on the two Royal Navy Assault Ships, HMS Fearless and HMS Intrepid. It is recorded as being on HMS Fearless in the Falklands in 1982 (source: MAFVA.net). It is in running order and took part in Tankfests 2004 and 2011.
