Photo Gallery on a Centurion Mk.13, The Centurion is a tank of the British army after the war. This tank is considered by specialists to be one of the very first British tanks of quality. Its development began during the Second World War, having not arrived early enough on the ground, it did not take part in the fighting. On the other hand, he was engaged during the Korean War, where he seems to have outperformed both American and Soviet tanks.
It was one of the most widespread tanks in the world, being in service in many armies and enjoying an extraordinary longevity still being actively active in 1990s and even 2000 for some of its derivative versions. His successor will be the Chieftain model.

Nice photos, but this is a mark 5, not a mark 13.
Ok, what are the differences?

53-81228 is a Canadian Mk 5 that served with Lord Strathcona’s Horse from 1959 until the mid 1970s. Canada did not use the Mk 13. They only used Mk 5 and upgraded some of them to Mk 11. A Mk 11 had four headlights (2 of them IR), a fitting for IR searchlight equipment and a ranging gun. 53-81228 has none of these.
