By Simon Dunstan & The Tank Museum

An insight into the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the British Army's most successful post-war tank.

The Centurion is significant in the history of British armoured fighting vehicles as well as being one of the most important post-war Western tanks. Introduced into British Army service in December 1946, versions of Centurion were still serving with British forces in the Iraq War of 2003, some 58 years later.

The Haynes Centurion Tank Manual is published in association with The Tank Museum and has been written with full access to the museum's Centurion collection.
