The British Super Cromwells That Served Into The 1990s - Challenger, Avenger and Charioteer

How do you put the big gun in the relatively small tank? The Challenger, Avenger and Charioteer were 3 attempts to put 17 or 20 pounder guns into the Cromwell chassis, with mixed results. Challenger saw service in WW2 and was largely overshadowed by the Firefly, which it might even have been better than. Avenger largely faded into the books of history and Charioteer managed to serve in the Middle East until 1993. 3 attempts, 3 big guns, and a fascinating story.
