Centaur AA Turret

Centaur AA Turret

Here we see the turret from the Centaur AA tank, armed with two Polsten cannons. The Centaur was a version of the Cromwell powered by the Liberty engine. The Centaur wasn't a great success and most were converted back into Cromwells by giving them Meteor engines, but some special purpose versions, such as the AA tank, did seem combat as Centaurs.

Picture from the author's collection. The tank is in the collection of the very impressive Bovington Tank Museum
