FV221 Caernarvon British Medium Tank

FV221 Caernarvon Medium Tank

The Caernarvon was used for chassis development work serving in troop trials for the FV214 Conqueror. It consisted of the FV 201 hull, combined with a 17 pounder-armed Centurion Mk 2 turret. Twenty-one additional units were built and from 1955, with the Conqueror entering service, FV221’s were all converted to that type.
