Text in original Preserved German Tanks publication:
This Ausf G has a plaque on its glacis plate that reads: “Built in 823 Armd Troops Wksp REME No.8 BAOR 1945”. It was number eight of the Panthers and Jagdpanthers built by the British and is fitted with swirl-cowl exhausts. This Panther was discovered at the Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment at Chatham, and given to the Museum in 1952. It has the raised cover on the left side of the engine deck. It previously carried the turret number “331”. It now carries the turret number “R01”, indicative of a regimental headquarters command tank. However there is no evidence that it is a Panzerbefehlswagen and, given its provenance, it is highly unlikely that it would ever have been so converted. It has a final version cupola without AA MG ring but with mounts for an IR sight, and it has fittings for tools both on the hull side, and on the hull rear and engine deck (source: L. Archer).
Text in Preserved German Tanks Update:
(Correction: The Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment (FVRDE), previously the Directorate of Tank Design, was located at Chertsey (Chobham Lane), not Chatham).
This Panther was put on the museum books in 1949. It is painted in a camouflage scheme is similar to that used on Panthers leaving the factory in the last months of the war – a basic undercoat of red with other colours rapidly applied. It was seen on Panthers of 5th Battalion, 25th Panzer Grenadier Division on the Eastern Front in February 1945.
