I'm not sure - Bovington have a number of Centurions, and I'm not sure which are running.

Fair enough, still is one hell of a tank no matter what variant.

The best tank from 1945 to the mid sixties, exported to tonnes of countries and constantly upgraded. And it's British.

Used by us in Korea, the Australians in Vietnam, and the Israelis too. I think they converted a lot of them into APCs?

That's almost every continent - any South American countries operate them?
