Centurion cfb borden 1

A Canadian Centurion Mk.III MBT at the Worthington Tank Museum at Ft. Borden.

The Centurion, introduced in 194e, was the primary British main battle tank of the post-World War II period. It is widely considered to be one of the most successful post-war tank designs, remaining in production into the 1960s, and seeing combat in the front lines into the 1980s. The chassis was also adapted for several other roles, and these have remained in service to this day.
