  • Thanks for the video. I was a Charlie tank commander for two years (1985/86) in West Germany with the RCD on a Leopard C1. Was a part of the Canadian team on the CAT 86 competition in Grafenwohr. FYI, we always referred to the ballistic computer as "Hermann the German." 😊

  • I was a Leopard tank commander from 2003 to 2007 when we transitioned to the M1A1 Abrams. I loved it, although it did tend to go through engines a fair bit, but when she would overheat we would jump out with the water Jerry’s, pour water in and away you would go. Pack changes were always super easy and quick. Two steering pressures as well which made it super fun to drive, you could easily drift it on the wet grounds in pukka but wasn’t wise! Loved shooting the 105mm at Bundy and still remember cleaning guns first thing in the morning with an oversized pull through, a can of oil and a whole bunch of us pulling and pushing before chucking the dehumidifiers in…such good memories. Every single thing he said gave me instant memories and they all came flooding back!

  • Hi Jason, thanks for this excellent chat about 'your' Leopard. Back in the mid-70ies I was trained as gunner, loader, commander in the German army. Initially on a Leopard 1A2 which was soon switched for a brand new 1A4 whose 1st gunner I had the honor to be. This had the same welded turret as your tank, but different sights. Commander's sight was a PERI R12, and the gunners main optics / rangefinder was an EMES 12A1, both connected to a hybrid firecontrol computer FLER-HG. No other sensors or a laser - nevertheless, once you knew your stuff, extremely accurate. Ammo-wise we also fired the APDS and the HESH/HEP, but additionally we had a HEAT with the freely spinning band to counter-act the rifling, all with the associated training rounds. Well, I loved that beast!

  • Spent quite a few years on these in RAEME at The Regiment and The Centre. I have lots of (mostly) fond memories of working on them. A great run-through and it was fun seeing inside one once again after so many years. There are a few updates since I was last inside one in the mid-eighties though! I remember quite a few going for turret lifts after the micro switch on the turret ring pump failed and they were traversed with inflated ring seals - they were the less fond memories! I had to URPC the tubes on those after inspecting them at their EFC life, before they went to ROFB for final condemnation and recycling. My other 'fond' memory was keeping well clear of the main armament when first firing up the turret hydraulics, just in case the stab decided to get a 'ghost in the machine'. I ended up working with Mr Jarrat's son in Canberra, many years later, during my second career. Mr Jarrat had a Cent at that stage, not sure if he's still got it. It was a little strange that fate would dictate a connection in that way, but I'm very glad I got to be part of our Leopard era.
