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.

Chieftain tank on Western Way

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.Propellor
