@@thomasleonard2564 It's tragic that they destroyed an equally rare and valuable vehicle when there's a huge amount of spare centurions going if someone had only been willing to spend more time or money.

@@Yaivenov I think the only point in firing the gun again would be as part of a one off exercise to document what it would do to the best armour of its day, & to modern tank armour, & what it would look like to fire a weapon like that, from inside the turret (I suspect a Go Pro would be the only thing in there) & out, & all around the target(s)... - & for that I suspect you'd want to manufacture some HESH Shells... it's not like it has a practical military future, after all...
