The Centurion Mk.5LR was the most important British main battle tank of the post-war period.
It is widely regarded as one of the most successful tank designs of all time, was built until the 1960s, and remained in service until the 1980s.
The chassis was also adapted for various other roles, and these variants are still in service today. The tank had a fuel capacity of 120 gallons, but achieved a fuel consumption of only about 3 miles per gallon in rough terrain. In 1953, a trailer called the MONO-Wheel-Trailer was introduced, an invention of Colonel T. Clarke.
The trailer was attached to the rear of the Centurion and ran on a single wheel.
The armored superstructure contained 200 gallons of gasoline, which could be pumped into the Centurion's fuel tanks when needed.
The trailer could also be quickly jettisoned if necessary.
Australia upgraded all its Centurion Mk.3s to the Mk.5/1LR. The suffix LR stands for "Long Range" and refers to the 100-gallon self-propelled anti-tank gun mounted on the rear hull plate.
The Centurion became one of the most widely used tank types, equipping armies worldwide; some remained in service even into the 1990s. Between 1946 and 1962, 4,423 Centurions were built, comprising 13 basic versions and numerous variants.
In the British Army, it was replaced by the Chieftain.
