Conqueror conks out at Duxford Tankfest 17/06/2012.

The giant 65t, 120mm gun, British Conqueror Heavy Tank lumbers to a halt with its transmission stuck in 3rd gear and unable to move, while the Russian T55, whizzies round the arena in the background. Its place is taken by an American M40 Gun Motor Carriage, with 155mm Long Tom gun, which crackles to life in the background. Both these machines are powered by modified petrol aero engines, the Conqueror by a water cooled 810hp V12 RR Meteor seen here, derived from the RR Merlin and
