Imagine trying to lug one of these home from Sports Direct...!
Sacrilege, really. This venerable poor Mk 3 had served in the Korean War, apparently.

What do these people think they are up to?
The ignomy that has befallen this honourable warrior, it deserves a better fate than becoming a piece of sports equipment!

Now I think about it, if I move the greenhouse just maybe it will fit in the back garden.
shaun.

As the old saying goes, boys, 'truth is stranger than fiction.' This photo, I scanned from a newspaper article in, 2011. The article was about an unusual outdoor art exhibition held in Venice. The static upside down Centurion/ treadmill exhibit was, in fact,quite genuine, and the artist (name concealed to protect her identity from tanker wrath) was a woman!
All I can say is that she, and her team, must have had absolutely humungous biceps to set this one up... what fate befell the poor tank afterwards, we can only speculate on. But, given the 360 rotation capability, it would have made a good roundabout for kids.
