Back In February myself and a couple of the boys from UKArmour (a virtual unit in the Steel Beasts community) were given the fantastic opportunity of  a guided tour round a Challenger 2 courtesy of another member of UKArmour, CR2Commander (guess what he does for a living!)

As well as having a muck around inside the beast itself including a blast with the turret and thermal imaging system, we got to have a play with some of the Army’s training tools to see how good at gunnery we actually were.
