Notes

Possibly identified in a Tank Museum Bovington YouTube video (March 2026). Vehicle clearly visible in Berlin Multi Disruptive Pattern camouflage scheme. Registration plate partially obscured — first five characters 01EB4 confirmed, final digit not legible. 01EB47 is the only Mk6-series MBT in the 01EB4x range, and matches the visual identifiers: standard dual headlight configuration, no Stillbrew armour on turret front. Last Merlin movement ABRO Warminster Planned Repair August 1994, no cast flag — consistent with survival into museum ownership. Status updated to possible survivor pending confirmation from Tank Museum.
