Centurian at Eastbourne

On 24/10/2003 this Centurian was on display outside the Redoubt Museum on Eastbourne sea front.
However since my visit it has been removed, in 2009, because it has fallen into a very bad and dangerous state.
The good people of Eastbourne were asked what should be done with it but that is where my story ends.
Does anyone have anymore information?

apparently it has gone to Arlington for restoration. It's a Mk II and saw service with the King's Royal Irish Hussars in Korea (hence the white star). I also photographed it in 2003, and did a mini-walkround - it was severely rusted and definitely in a dangerous state.

Correction : it's a Mark III (typical typo!)
