| Details:
Due to continuing
delays in the production of the A30 Challenger (Kit
BB17), and as the A41 Centurion design work had just
begun, it was decided that Vauxhall should build an
interim 17pdr. Gun Tank using many of the components
of the A22 Churchill Mk.VII resulting in the A43 "Black
Prince" or "Super Churchill".
Six were completed
before wars' end, but as the Centurion was also now
ready, no series production was undertaken.
The
replacement brass barrel illustrated is available as
BAR17M
