Mark Breaks Ground on New Tank Test Site in Hadley

Mark Pritchard MP RBSL

Today, Mark was delighted to perform the ground-breaking ceremony as work begins on multimillion pound Hadley test site for the Challenger 3 tank, which will be the most lethal tank in NATO when it enters into service.

Following the visit, Mark said, "Thank you to the superb staff at RBSL. It was great to see the impressive progress being made on the Shropshire-built Challenger 3 tank. Land forces will always be needed to protect UK interests at home & abroad, so I'm pleased that the Boxer armoured fighting vehicle is also being built by Shropshire engineers."
