June 8th, 2024 in 1376 marked the death of Edward Plantagenet (of Woodstock), who died aged 45 exactly 649 years ago. Being one of the famous and ruthless actors in the Hundred Years War and the only Prince of Wales who didn't become king, he was laid to rest in Canterbury Cathedral where his surcoat, helmet, shield, and gauntlets are still preserved.

Some years ago I visited Canterbury to participate in the history preserved at Canterbury Cathedral.

Bronze effigy of a medieval knight in full armor, lying supine with hands clasped in prayer. The knight's armor is intricately detailed, featuring floral patterns and chainmail elements. Behind the effigy, metal bars hint at the protective enclosure around the sculpture. The lighting accentuates the metallic texture and ornate design of the armor.

The A43 Black Prince Infantry Tank was an experimental development of the Churchill tank with a larger, wider hull and a QF 17-pounder gun. The project was abandoned with only six prototypes built. #A43BlackPrince #BlackPrince #InfantryTank #Tank #WW2 #WW2History #MilitaryHistory #SecondWorldWar #BritishArmy #Military

The A43 Black Prince Infantry Tank was an experimental development of the Churchill tank with a larger, wider hull and a QF 17-pounder (76 mm) gun. By the time the Black Prince prototypes had appeared in May 1945, the Sherman Firefly had proved itself in combat, the Comet tank was in service and the introduction of Centurion was imminent. All these tanks carried the QF 17-pounder or a derivative; all had better mobility than the Black Prince and the Centurion had frontal armour of comparable effectiveness. The Black Prince had become redundant and the project was abandoned with only six prototypes built.
