I am planning/researching BG Cordingley's Challenger in Operation Granby to do his Challenger I "Bazoft's Revenge". Where can I find particular markings for his tank? Cheers in advance.

The answer can be found on page 43 of Simon Dunstan's book (Osprey Vanguard) Challenger 1. 1982 - 1997.

The tank carried a Red rat (Jerboa) pennant and marking and he was known as the King Rat.

The name was written on the fume extractor in Black marker by his loader.

Pull it up on the internet and you can read the marking details. I cannot copy and paste due to copyright laws.

I guess using Google Books is OK...

Keith, Henri-Pierre, thanks for the info. I will acquire Simon's book as a reference source as I like "hard copies". I am currently reading through Brig Cordingley's account, a joy to read.

Cheers!
