#5: Re: Cromwell restoration completed in the UK Author: ajmac, Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:28 am ---- A number of outdated Cromwells were fitted with a new design turret and 20pdr gun to prolong the life of the chassis back in the early 50s. The original Cromwell style turret came from a British firing range Centaur which is also being restored.
