One of the New Zealand Army’s M4l tanks fires a round during the last range practice at Waiouru late last month. The last five of the original, 10 tanks were withdrawn from service at the end of March. They are being replaced by 26 British Scorpion tanks, four of which have already arrived. The remainder are due to enter service about the middle of the year. The American designed M4l was introduced into the United States Army in the early 1950s and was bought for the New Zealand Army in 1960. Armies in South-East Asia, Europe and South America still use the M4l.
