Vehicle History
The British sold 24 Charioteers to Jordan in 1954. Jordan then passed them on to Lebanon. When the Lebanese army disintegrated during the civil war (1975-1990), the PLO took a few and used them in Southern Lebanon. Two British made Charioteer lightweight tanks were captured from terrorist forces in Southern Lebanon during Operation Latani in 1978.
