Notes

Confirmed scrapped at BATUS range, Suffield, Alberta. Parts including track and road wheels recovered from scrapyard 2023. Vehicle data plate also recovered, confirming identity: Code No 0505 3003 (matching Merlin asset code HA05053003), Class 1 repair recorded at ABRO Warminster (consistent with two Merlin ABRO Warminster planned repair entries, 1993 and 1995). 07FF10 holds the distinction of being the last Chieftain-family vehicle delivered to BATUS, arriving 1 November 1999 — over three years after the main April 1996 batch. Data plate and recovered parts held in a museum.
