I liked its versatility. How many variants were there, 1,847,219 or there about? I believe that if the need had arisen for one to plant petunias, somebody would have soon been driving up in one sporting the necessary attachments to make that happen.
Hello Jeff,
If you like the Churchill then I can thoroughly reccommend David Fletcher's Mr. Churchill's Tank: The British Infantry Tank Mark IV. I bought this after hearing VP rave about it and he was completely right: a very readable and comprehensive account of the development, use and evolution of the Churchill, and well-presented, too. It was quite expensive (about £40, as I remember) but it is the sort of book I will never sell and will always treasure.

PS I have no connection to the author or publishers!
