Another great Tankfest weekend.  The star of the show for me was the Challenger 2 – ‘Megatron’.

The 65 ton Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank is one of the most formidable tanks in the world. 120mm main armament, co-axial 7.62mm chain gun and a Remote Weapon Station capable of carrying up to a 0.5 (12.7mm) calibre heavy machine gun.
