| C Squadron was sent to Aden in February 1960 to carry out desert trials and take part in combined service amphibious exercises in and around the Arabian Gulf. This photo shows one of their Centurion tanks being loaded onto the ship at Southampton. They were a heavy tank regiment for the first years of the 1960s, until 1967 by which time they had the Mark XIII Centurion armed with a 105mm gun. After that they were converted to an Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment. |
