Western Way car park
Guarding the car-park is a Chieftain tank, a gift to the town from the commandant of the Castlemartin Field Training Centre in the late 1990s.
The tank is unusual in that it is fitted with ‘Stillbrew’ up-armouring around the turret and the driver’s compartment.
This is the second tank to be presented to the town; following the First World War a Mark IV tank was displayed in the Memorial Park. It was scrapped before the end of WWII.
A threebladed propeller is also displayed on the Western Way car park, another reminder of the town’s RAF connections.
