Lesley Delsing's latest Europe wrecks & relics update reminded me of a good question... The US Army TACOM Central Registry says that the British MoD has an M1 Abrams (SN 983). The City is listed as "London England," but I suspect thats merely MoD HQ... So, assuming its not in a basement in Whitehall, where is this Abrams???

Trevor, any ideas?

Dennis, is this Abrams hidden away at Bovington somewhere perhaps?

Sorry, I don't know where it is. I visited Chobham a few years back, and they had a few vehicles squirrelled away (like a Challenger for environmental testing) so I wouldn't be surprised if it's at a testing base like that somewhere.

I wonder if this particular Abrams was the one offered for the Chieftain Replacement Programme - which became Challenger 2.
