About this listen
After a world war spent building very bad tanks the British got their act together and unleashed Centurion on the world.
It would fight with distinction in the Korean War, the Suez Crisis, Indo-Pakistani wars, Vietnam, and on both sides of Arab-Israeli wars.
Bruce Springsteen was probably thinking of Centurion when he wrote "Tougher Than The Rest":
"If you're rough enough for love /
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest"
Centurion was the first audio episode we tried to record remotely during the Covid lockdowns and John's technical errors made him sound like a dalek so it was a good candidate to revisit.
The halftime interview features Chris from @HistoryofEverythingChannel on Air Disaster Hill just outside Canberra.
