A22 Churchill MK III in the Canadian War Museum Ottawa. Equipped with wading equipment, like the ones used at the Dieppe raid, and MKVI VII suspension units. The gun looks a little odd though. I'd say it's probably a fake gun or as Simon pointed out a 95mm howitzer. Next to it is indeed a German Panzerjäger IV.
We'll I've been to 0 tank museums outside of Aberdeen, so if it's not Aberdeen, maybe I should just throw out a guess each time. Are there penalty points for guessing wrong? ;)
It's the Churchill Mk III, probably the NA75 variant which was fitted with the 75mm gun of a destroyed Sherman. I think it's in the Le Breton gallery at the Canadian War Museum in Ottowa.

Churchill with what looks like a Panzerjager IV behind it. I think it's a Mark III Churchill.
ReplyDeleteThis might be an upgraded vehicle from and earlier Mark.

ReplyDeleteThe gun might be a 95mm early support howitzer and not a 6 Pdr as the bore and barrel thickness looks large.

MK VII suspension... not MKVIVII
DeleteI reckon that would be a Churchill Mk III with deep wading kit, as used at Dieppe. Now in Bovington, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteChurchill tank, not sure which model.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the inventory of Bovington, I suspect I should just guess "Bovington!" for all of these indoor tank pics. :)
That would be a very rash assumption :-)

DeleteGood heavens no! The Tanktober Gods encourage spray and area suppressive fire :-)

ReplyDeleteHello the NA75 had the original Sherman mantlet. The guns were taken for scrapped/damaged Sherman's.
ReplyDeleteSimon, if that's the case, (and I believe you), then it's probably the 3 inch howitzer.
DeleteIt's a Churchill
ReplyDeleteChurchill is all I can say.
