I'm liking the mine detection there, just drive a tank over it, it'll be right....!
Didn't I read somewhere that a Centurion was used in nuclear testing and was still driveable afterwards?

I'm sure I've read that they used to do that in Vietnam, race two M48's up a main road side by side every morning to check for mines.

Yes, an Australian one, it's quite famous. Google for "centurion atomic tank". It's still around, presumably preserved, in Australia.
