1959: Dutch tank battalion with 54 Centurion tanks

More info here (in Dutch).

662 of these were used. And really used as well, they were in service for 42 years! But hey, they were paid for by the Americans!

But in my half awake, bleary eyed state, first thing in the morning....I thought Olden had posted a pic of his tabletop.....I wondered why it was so monochrome !
Dearie, dearie me !

Perhaps IanS is thinking that you live in a country with low English skills...

"really used as well, they were in service for 42 years!"

As in parked on a parade square and polished/washed/cleaned to death just to keep national servicemen busy or 'really used' as in 'used in anger'?
