Anyone know of a list of the registration numbers allocated to the crusader tank?



and something for the piccie crowd...

Hi Jim! Hi Folks!

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question.

But I have a question for you. Where is that vehicle at? The wall with the wire on top has me thinking that vehicle is in Iraq.

Interesting,
Sgt, Scouts Out!

Tremendously - any breakdown as to which ones were CS close support vehicles?

I am sorry , no further intel available on registration numbers of CS variants....

Pity as we suspect its a Mark I CS upgraded to Mark II CS standard. The absence of the gun complicates matters....

Mk.I CS upgraded to Mk.II CS Standard? That could explain these extra armour plates on the hull and small turret omitted. These features combined with early gun mantlet… hm, this could be a pretty rare kindercoach.
CS variants had (reportedly) extra ammo racks in the space below and instead of small turret. Have you found something like that or special fittings for such racks at least??
