Title: Saw this and thought of FSN
Post by: DanJ on 01 June 2015, 02:33:16 PM
A few years ago Preston Council decided to put up a monument to local industry, I've driven past it a few times but on Saturday the weather was ok amd I had the camera.

I think it's a Mk V but no doubt I'll be corrected.

To be accurate - its Mk 5 for Cents, and that is a well upgraded one. It has an RMG, extra front armour and a 105. That makes it probably a Mk 10, although it should then have an IR searchlight.

Made in Leyland?  What? the indicator stalk will operate the radio and it will break down if it rains?
