Me fav'rite tank, Guv'nor? Deffo the Centurion. But if this is confined to WWII - I can't decide between the Churchill & the Comet. Both represented the peak of development for the Infantry (Churchill) & Cruiser (Comet) tank designs.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Someone has something good to say about the Churchill!

At least now I know I'm not the only one.

Sometimes piss artists...

Though I think a bit of George Formby might suit this one better than Land of Hope & Gory.
