Deep bronze green? Well, at least it's a Centurion!

Something is going over my head here. I wonder if the photo is a still from and old television program known in the UK, but not brought to North America. ??? ???

That's the Ontario Regiment Museum's Centurion out for run last weekend in Oshawa, Ontario. It was a bit of a surprise when it came rolling out of the garages and did several laps of their tank track for a very appreciative crowd of folks at their Aquino Weekend festivities. I'll be posting more pics and some videos in the Events section. Leopards, Chieftains, Priests, Kangaroos, Ferrets, T-72s, Shermans, T-54s, M60s, Scorpions, Staghounds...oh my! All at speed!

Mike.

Ah I was afraid that might be the case. Google search 'U.N.I.T.', 'time', 'Tom' and 'doctor'.

The Deep Bronze Green Land Rovers were a consistent prop.

I will do so on my big(ish) screen PC when I get home Monday. Did the UK get the old program "Combat"? When my old pal and I went to see "Fury," as Brad Pitt and the young hero were holding out against Germans with Panzerschreck, etc., we were chuckling at, how shall I say, the lack of credibility. Finally, referring to "Combat," my friend whispered "Sergeant Saunders would have blown up that tank in two minutes."
