Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
The classification of this vehicle is ‘Restricted’ so it must be kept and secured accordingly. While it can be displayed in the Tank Museum, there must be some means of preventing the general public from touching this vehicle. This is to stop the general public from removing or damaging the Radar Absorbent Paint (RAP) that this vehicle is painted with. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
This is the so-called ‘Stealth’ Chieftain tank, based on a Mark 12. It is in running order and has taken part in a number of events, including Tankfest 2006. As well as having RAP it appears to have been fitted with other ‘signature reduction’ methods such as blanking off the roadwheels and fitting brush ‘dust flaps’ for the tracks.
