- After 18 months of planning we have finally done it!
The FV4005 is loaded up for Tank Fest 2024
HUGE THANKS TO @WorldOfTanksOfficialChannel and @thetankmuseum
And all the individuals for making this happen.

knocked out the park again. cracking work by all. think what i love is the end of the video you said 'im not making you like or subscribe, you do as you like around here'.. thats refreshing to not have that rammed in your face every video, far too many channels do that. Ted on top form as per usual.
Spot on target.
I love how humble Ted is. He's basically done all the hard work but you don't hear him bragging about it. Great dog, wonderful manager.
You don't see him off-camera!
(But then I suppose none of us do 😂 )
Congrats to Ted for all his hard work overseeing this huge project.
They couldn't have done it without Ted's supervision.
With Ted's help everyone should here a steak dinner. That means Ted too.
Ted's name deserves top billing on the memorial plaque.
It's ruff, being a barketing manager!
Must say that Ted was great supervising everything and I think he needs vacation too!
Legendary work restoring the FV4005 and taking us along on the journey! Buy the team a round of drinks on me! (and extra treats for the boss man Ted)
On behalf of the whole team, thank you kindly
Joe, There is only one thing left to say, and that is GOOD LUCK AT TANK FEST 2024. Seriously tho', you have done a superb job of restoration on the FV4005 in the short time you've had it. So there are somethings not quite ready, but compared to what it could have been with all the struggles etc. You've done Bloody Marvellous Miracles to her, and she should be displayed with pride and you should be very pleased with what you achieved in the time. WELL DONE JOE & TEAM....
I cant wait to see the 4005 in person tomorrow. Ive come all the way from the states to see it this year. Your work has been super entertaining to follow and I hope everything goes smoothly with it over the course of Tankfest.
Welcome, Septic.
You’ll love it it’s a fantastic day out av been twice with the kids when they were young a loved it more than the kids 😂😂😂👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
6 months and all that? That's well in my book. Parts had to be made, things had to be untangled, paint, troubles. Then some out time for some of the team. All understandable. Given how well it looks, it's surprising you managed to get it all as good as it is - and 90% running. When it's all said and done, it's going to be a great piece. You done did good!
If Germanay Could Do A Tiger Like That I Would Be Impressed...
Thank you, Ted for all your hard work! Love how well this came out!!
I've got two CIty&Guilds and some management training , but then there's Ted, I'm in awe, thank-you Ted, much appreciated.
About bloody time, it feels like we’ve been waiting for months😉🤣
Pipe down ye gret bunglesfinger, :) everyone needs a rest and the output is always double top-notch, though I know you were joking, others have been a bit keener elsewhere. Cheeky bloody monkies!!
🤣🤣
10 days is like 2½ Ted months.
Great update, All of you have done excellent job of restoring the FV4005. Looks like it is ready for action once again.😁👍👍
Looks brilliant guys. Great job. Well done Ted.
So many fond memories of that tank.. dad was stationed in Bovington late 80’s with 3RTR, I had fond memories of playing on that tank.. thank you bringing it back to its former glory & also THANK TED YOU UTTER LEGEND 😂
Hats off to you all for this amazing project… bloody marvellous!!! Great team, great attitude, great videos… much love!❤️ ❤🤗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You should be incredibly proud of your achievements. No need to apologise for parts that are yet to be worked on. To achieve such a monumental task in such a short time is truly magnificent
You all have done a fantastic job ! The FV looks great, great to meet you today shame supervisor Ted wasn't there.
You guys did really great job, congraturation from Japan!👏👏👏👏👏
My brother and I went to Fort Moore (formally Fort Benning) for an open house on their armor display April 27th of this year. It was very impressive. We also visited the American Infantry Museum and attended the live fire demonstration featuring 120mm mortars, drones, servicemen, Strykers, Bradleys, and Abram’s MBT’s. It was a great visit. If I ever make it to England I would love to visit and thank you for the many hours of enjoyment I have received from watching your videos. Thank you so much. From 2 older American pharmacists.
Fantastic work Ted and Co. Huge accomplishment in a short time, well done to all involved.
Fantastic work. After months of hard work, and entertainment for us, I wish you all the best for Tankfest. Enjoy yourselves, you'll be the star of the show.
I hope Ted is Grand Marshal.
Ted is absolutely knackered.... Tough work.
Awesome job all round. ❤
Well done all of you... what a great job! Ted must be proud.
Sadly I can't make Tankfest this year, but hopefully it will be there another time.
Looks amazing, sounds amazing. Such great work. Can't wait to see it driving around. Sadly stuck in New Zealand so won't be at tank fest. Give yourselves a bloody great pat on the back
Thank you, it was great to see the FV4005 running at Tankfest yesterday.
Fantastic job. I was Cent trained whilst in the R.E.M.E. during my service between 73 and 83. To look after a Cent OP with the Artillery and Cent Recovery Vehicles.
Awesome job. Beautiful evening. Looking forward to seeing all your hard work tomorrow. Have a good one.
Excellent work on the resurrection of the FV4005! It would be the star of the show, and you and Ted would be like rock stars!
Great work guys, gals, and Ted! It's amazing. Huge effort. Glad to hear you're getting to keep working on it after Tank Fest and that isn't the end of your time with FV4005. The new clip mic sounds super too.
Bloody good job fellas... you have done in 6 months what I would assume would take 2 or 3 years, you should be so proud of yourselves, see you at the weekend 👍🏻
Fab. Looking excellent and pleased that you all and Ted are pleased. You should be!!
Great job to all you and glad Ted was in charge ,tank turn out great hope they run it on track at tank fest 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Well I think Ted did a brilliant job with the guidance of the restoration and his management of you lot very well indeed the tank look awesome well done to you all 🏴🏴🏴
You guys are amazing and do such a good job on the restorations,yes it’s been a few weeks since your last video but it was worth the wait.Keep up the good work and if possible take a group photo of all the team including the wives,girlfriends and sisters and moms that are helping out behind the scenes.Love you all.🎉🎉😊😊
A fantastic effort by all concerned including Ted,,, great work on the 4005, I'll see you all at tankfest FEAR NAUGHT
Kudos to Ted and the team for such a great achievement! It has been done in a relatively short time with all the other work you have taken on and doing the videos as well! Looking forward to seeing more, well done!
Can't wait to see it in person tomorrow, you've all done such a magnificent job, just seeing the side by side of before and after filled me with joy. Spud rides on!
Finding your channel about 6 months ago has been a very enjoyable time! You guys work very hard to bring like back into these vehicles. But it seems like you have a blast doing it! There are other channels like yours out there. But none as fun as yours! Keep hanging fun! Kenny
After spending two and a half hours in a queue to get into Tankfest on Friday and missing all of the morning programme it was great to see you driving FV4005 around the arena. Missed ted though. Hope that he will be number one on your plaque of list of helpers to put on the turret
Fantastic job, well done to everyone involved, hell of a project.
Followed from the start ... Ted's amaising to organise you guys like this ... BRAVO! Youve done it guys, well done. :)
Bravo Ted! It's hard to get good help these days, but you've managed to wrangle the team together. Well done.
Thank god that Ted is there to keep things going. Congratulations Ted!!!
Congrats to the whole team for a job well done. And of course their Boss, Ted 👍
Nice to see you make the front page of the Bournemouth Daily Echo driving this beast Joe. My son asked why there was an Action Man figure atop the turret - then I realised it was Jack 😂😂.
Proper job - well done. Hope it all goes well at Tank Fest.
Well done Ted! I'll bring Thatchers to Bov tomorrow as I'm sure he'll be thirsty ( or someone will be.....)😆
The plaque is a great idea. Top shelf move.
It's so good to see spud finally looking clean and proud! We'll done you guys, was a shame to see this piece rusting outside when we saw it 💜
Joe, Jack and all the lads, such a cracking result😮 Shes a stunner and a now running piece of history bravo indeed! Oh, and can't forget the skill and dedication of Ted keeping you all on task and out of the cider tins more than necessary.
Cracking Job! Cheers Ted.🍖🦴🍖🦴
All joking apart, amazing job, ridiculous time scale, wonderful result.
Congratulations Ted
Great work! Amazing considering the state of both the donor hull and the original turret! Nice sarrycan in the background too.
Well done Ted! You run a tight team.
That engine really sounds good. A definite improvement on other Centurions you hear.
Runs beautifully 😍 Well done all 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your efforts are amazing, well done all. Think a set of fluffy dice would set it off a treat though.
Thank you, Ted. You're a scholar and a gentleman.
What a great job, well done for all involved!
Well done, I wish I wasn't so far away. Ted probably needs an OBE. Cheers from Oz
Truly a spectacular effort👍. Thank to Ted and all the amazingly talented crew who contributed to this dream project.
Virtual pats on the back for a job well done!
Super excited to see it on Sunday :D Thank You for your hard work.
Well done Ted - pride of place on the plaque too would be fully deserved.
Well done!
Looks great
Jim
Hi Joe well done all the best to you all at tank fest brilliant job by Ted
Outstanding work gents! Spud looks the dog's bollocks and so does "El Supremo" Ted! 😂Well done!

Thank you Ted , you picked a nice crew .... 😊

bloody good effort by all the team .. looking forward to tank-fest livestream

I think you guys also add comedy and fun to your channel . Great Job Ted . You should be canine british tank builder of the year. 😂
Having watched the progress of this over the last few months, including the before and after shots I am in awe at the managerial skills of Ted! Pulling together his team to turn out this masterpiece. Good job Ted, and tame humans!
Cheers Ted for 'Crackin the whip'.
You mob should feel right proud.
Magnificent job.
You got a Tank that had been previously filled with CONCRETE running,
so the success of this project shouldn't come as any surprise to you, i know it doesnt to myself.
Outstanding effort to all involved.
Cheers for sharing,
and Thanks for NOT dropping off of the face of the planet (10 days without a video is an eternity for us lmao) 😂🤣
Very well done Ted and his Crew!

FV4005を修復してくれてありがとう
走ってる姿はとても美しいものだった
協力してくれたみんなに感謝を
日本より愛を込めて
Seen it Friday... what a beast, made the guys sticking out the top look tiny 😂
Thank you Ted, you absolute marvelous beast you. Oh! and everyone else who worked so hard to make this a reality of course. ^~^
YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB IN THE SHORT TIME YOU HAD TO DO IT !!
CANT WAIT TO SEE IT UP AND RUNNING !!
QUESTION ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO THE OTHER SHOWS THIS YEAR ??
Watch from start to finish great job. Cant wait to see the rest!!! Gray Owen 1st cav
Well done lads, great team great crew. Don't change your format, its perfect.
Amazing piece of work gentlemen and ladies. You all deserve a pat on the back for bringing this monster back to life. Would love to have seen what 183mm hesh round would have actually done to an IS series tank but I guess restoring the breech is a no no.
Well done, you look genuinly thrilled with it.
Good job Ted! Go and relax now, till the next big project you take on! Good job!
I have watched all the video's on this, so please thank Ted for all his hard work.
Amazing work. So nice to do a vehfrom scratch. Last for years
Great job. Looks amazing. Thanks
well done to you and all the team.
Thanks for using/getting the remote mics so we can hear you when you are not 2 feet from the camera/phone. How far are you and the Tank Museum from London? Would like to visit both if I visit the UK again. I LOVE they way you include your dogs in the video. They are obviously loved and well taken care of.
Great to see this project come to fruition. With a big help from the Boss TED. Joe your team has performed a miracle in such a short time. You are certainly making a great name for your team in Military Vehicle restoration. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ahah! I already saw it today at the museum, didn't know it was yours. Nice!
Well done Mr.Hews et al.
