25 pounder shell

[CINDERS]

Nice looking round Jim, you'd have to be a bit of a contortionist feeding that lump of a thing into the breech whilst bouncing around inside the turret as I gather the suspension on the Centurian would not be anywhere near the suspension of todays modern AFV's have.

One thing that has always puzzled me is when Christie demonstrated his suspension system and the tank being able to do 60mph on its road wheels, only the Russians snapped it up to be put onto their T34 series pretty bizarre really, imagine the Christie suspension on a Churchill, mind you that tank could climb very steep gradients as it was.
