[QUOTE="TED0075, post: 214400, member: 21129"] Hi all, The Chieftain is in fact one of the final variants and as fitted with TOGS Thermal Observation Gunnery System, you can see the barbette on the left side of the turret replacing the 11 Million candle power searchlight. All of the stowage bins and catwalks are missing along with the thermal sleeve, which makes the tank look very strange. The front of the turret was up armoured with Stillbrew armour in the mid-late 80s which put I think about an extra 4 ton on. By the time we had to get rid of these for Challenger 1 it really was a very good tank. Nice to see the tracks a properly tightened. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
