4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards Chieftain that was stuck whilst on Exercise Medicine Man 7 in BATUS (British Army Training Unit Suffield), Alberta, Canada 1984. The tank was unable to be recovered due to the mud around it becoming frozen solid therefore the tracks were also frozen into the ground.

The tank was temporarily abandoned due to this and all ammunition and weapons were removed from the tank, when it was decided the tank would be recovered, Royal Engineers used plastic explosive to blow the tracks and frozen ground around the tracks up, in order to be able to drag it out by recovery mechanics.
