Leopard 1 is one of, if not the most, successful designs of the post-war period. From the newly formed Bundeswehr, to storage in the ’90s, and a modern-day resurgence in Ukraine — the Leopard has had an extraordinary career. But it’s a tank with basically no armour! So how did the Leopard end up being designed in the first place? And how come it became such a massive export success? Join us as we discover what makes Leopard 1 such a ferocious vehicle.
It could be said that if it looks like a tank, smells like a tank, and sounds like a tank, then it’s a tank. However, as a couple of vehicles at TANKFEST this year demonstrated, sometimes things aren’t always what they appear. Welcome to the world of the replica vehicle. Why do we need them? Who builds them? And how on earth do they do it?
There’s something very British about the Centurion. It arrived a few weeks too late to see service in World War 2, but it ended up being one of the best tanks ever made. In the hunt for the Universal Tank, the British succeeded in bringing firepower, armour and mobility into one truly superb design. While it may have missed its moment in the war, Centurion saw service in a number of conflicts around the world – and became a key armoured fighting vehicle for many countries. Thirteen Marks, masses of upgrades, and a whole host of variants, get ready to hear the story of the Centurion.
