The content of the Workshop Diaries is without a doubt setting a very high standard of in depth education for preservation of historical mechanical conservation. Kudos for reciprocating with the Dutch and participating in the Arnhem anniversary event.
It is not just a anniversary for Arnhem, but it is for the whole operation
@@Thomas_TdK You are correct it should state Operation Market Garden.
Agreed! This is one of my favourite videos when they come out. Relaxing and highly educational.
We just finished participating in Liberation column North to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Belgium. The most satisfying moments are when you enter a town with the column and are greeted by all those waving people. That’s what makes it special. So if you have a chance to visit the column in the Netherlands when it passes then go and see. it’s likely to be a once in a lifetime experience!
I can honestly say that the Workshop Diaries are probably one of the best videos I have ever watched covering not just MBT's, but like this Dingo a little treasure!
It informs the public of the wonderful work that is always going on behind the scenes and makes those open days a roaring success. All are packed with interesting information and much detail as to problems and issues faced by the team.
Hat doffed to you all.
Great episode! My late Uncle, Staff Sgt George Davis was a Horsa pilot. Landed ok and discharged his troops. Eventually went to ground, literally!, in a garden in Arnhem. He was captured and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp in Poland. Liberated by the Russians, he and his mates had to walk back to allied lines. Like many who fought, he never talked about his war until he reached his 70,s. A lovely man, brave and very complimentary to the RAF pilots who towed him, "they always got us there" he told me.
I really want you guys to film the road trip in these vehicles.
Are you going to pay the fuel cost why do you think they use low loaders
@@rebeccacooksey112 They already said that they're going to try and drive the vehicles there, and will only use low loaders if they have issues, as they have been given permission by the Dutch to do so. Watch the video next time.
Imagine Jeremy James and Hammond taking part in this
@@rebeccacooksey112 we have been filming the convoy.
All you technicians and engineers and mechanics are bloody marvellous people
Thanks for people with the passion and resources to keep these vehicles in great condition and sharing them with the public.
Good prep work. Glad to hear that the Dingo has oil drips, and therefore has the forerunner of the Land Rover anti corrosion system.
Another excellent video from the Tank Museum! Well done all!🤗
Fabulous episode, thanks so much for putting this together (along with vehicles of course!). Seriously guys, the work you do is top notch. My dad's generation would be teary eyed to know you care so much about them and the vehicles they served in.
Imagine being that ferry worker.
"How was your day?"
"Oh you know, loaded a bunch of tanks. They're probably not invading the Netherlands, but that's above my paygrade."
The Police overhere escorting the convoy on hells highway was also joking.
They said at last we have enough manpower and equipment.
I joked back and said lets move out and liberate Amsterdam (high crime rate lately)
They tried not to laugh at first, they smirked and then blasted out of laughter.
A museum near me bought an M8 Greyhound.
They talk about bringing it into the country:
Following a lengthy conversation getting on the boat home, it was imported as a ford transit
One of my favorite Dinky Toys was the Dingo. I didn't realize how small it was in real life. Them was the days!
I had one too (those old days indeed) !! And more old model British war-vehicles, being Dinky Toys ! Great toys, loved to play with them !!
My great uncle was in the Canadian 3rd division, he was a forward artillery observer. He received the Belgian Croix de Guerre for the liberation of Belgium and was killed in early October near Bergen Op Zoom in Holland. Thank you for representing all the men who participated.
A couple of 'bravos'. Bravo for looking after armoured cars as well as tracked vehicles and bravo for letting them out into the wild. Looking forward to seeing reports on how they fared in the Netherlands.
Watching a museum curator get greasy maintaining his personal armoured vehicle is truly a joy.
Bob Darwood - mechanical genius!
For me the most interesting of all the videos the Tank Museum produces. When you see how involved and difficult the access is on these vehicles you are left in awe of the people you had to keep them running in combat.
Love the fact in the metric age, Bob Darwood used Imperial measurements for the copy of the under plate of the dashboard.
The vehicle was manufactured in Imperial, wasn't it? Lower chance of a mistake when you're not doing any conversions in the middle of the work.
Halinspark, you misunderstand I still measure things in feet and inches.
@@Vlka_Fenryka No I think you mis-understood, Bob can clearly work in both systems (it is not hard) but as the vehicle he was working on was imperial it makes sense to keep it like that. It wasn't Bob endorsing any particular system, so i think you are potentially reading into it too much as a validation of the system you opt to use.
@@mwnciboo no, it's a validation of the fact that when you are working on hardware built with legacy units, insisting on converting to a completely different unit system is both counterproductive and a right PITA.
think about that next time you pop into the pub for a .568261 liter.
You guys are Magic, I have a tear in my eyes thinking of the great sacrifices that were made in many of these vehicles.
You are intrepid, RESPECT, thank you.
Always love the content from the Tank Museum.
20:33 - Reminds me of the time I stopped for gas in town, and two deuce and a half trucks just casually pull in to the next fuel island. But I'm sure the folks near Bovington are use to seeing this.
21:09 - Also if anyone from SCS Software is watching, please consider adding a tank hauling objective in ETS2.
As a Dutchman, thank you for taking the effort to bring these vehicles up to standards for this commemoration!
This is the best thing I've seen for months. Superb! Happy to see so much effort to commemorate these important events. I hope to see this all again in another 25 years.
Thanks for keeping us up to date with the story of your adventure, getting ready to invade Holland, I hope they are glad to see you this time, too. This series is just fantastic for me to see; in my own military career I was a tech, and I fixed stuff. You do a great job, and many people admire the work that you do, so it's good that they can visit you and see those great old war machines, that English soldiers sometimes lived in during the 2nd World War. Fortune passes everywhere.
O'Thanks very very much...Super...! From Moddlesborough Ky...!
desde mexico, los felicito por compartir tanta informacion de esta tecnolodgia, muy agradecido
Outstanding work and video production. The video's here are better than 99.9% of what is available on TV on the "history" channels. Keep up the amazing work. A new Tank Museum video is the highlight of my day!
I so look forward to each episode of the workshop diaries and this episode keeps up the high standard i expect. Having worked in the motor trade all my life I find the nuts and bolts of these vehicles so interesting, I wish you all the best of luck on your trip to Holland and I hope all goes well.
I was F/O in a Dak in 84 which took part in parachute dropping at Arnhem. We departed Dehlen , orbiting at Nijmegen with the Dutch Dak and an F27 in broken cloud , we started our run in .....the R/T was poor,, and we heard a call to cancel the drop, and simultaneously a call in Dutch, which politely translated said f..stuff that ,,and I sat there watching the Dutch Dak with a whole string of paras doing there thing. I can still see it now. Fantastic.
My Dad was in the 181 Air Landing Field Ambulance , but was not at Arnhem fortunately, or I probably wouldn't be writing this.
Really splendid effort shown there guys, as you say in the video it's just great that you are giving back to the dutch guys after they have supported you for so long, nice to see someone can be grown up and get along to achieve great things with our European neighbour's
Every episode is my new favorite episode. I could watch this stuff for hours. Really great production. You make it look easy, but I know a lot of work goes on to make these look and sound so good.
I really love that you lot decided to do these workshop vlogs. I look forward to every episode, keep up the good work and thanks so much!
For some reason, I always love scenes where some guy just casually parks military hardware at a gas station....
You should do it with some road worthy actual tanks,just to scare them...
I have gotten to drive antique vehicles, and it is truly wonderful to just casually pull up, somewhere.
Keep doing these...this kind of thing is exactly what the internet is for.
So jelous about your Dingos. Both are looking amazing. With this level of professional care I'm sure they will run with no issues. Carry on!
Could you do a small bit on THINGS FOUND IN TANKS . Of course only if some neat stuff was found.
Working on these is my dream job without a doubt, enverous of these guys
Really nice to see behind the scenes. I live just down the road and I regularly go to museum to take a look round when its quiet.
Looking forward to seeing the old Dingo all rewired, up and running!
And good luck with Operation Market Garden!
My father took part in Operation Market Garden (Battle for Nijmegen)
My wife's uncle was killed during Operation Market Garden; Walter D Cooper, 501 PIR, 101 Airborne, Sept 24, 1944. RIP
@Dave Ad ....... Sorry to hear that. I've been to the Airborne museum in Arnhem and was very impressed.
@@stevebengel1346 ....... while Walter D Cooper was parachuting into battle my Father was part of the ground forces coming in from the south. Nice to hear from you.
Awesome!! Love it!!
Cannot get enough of these. What I'd give to work there!!
I have just seen these vehicles drive through Valkenswaard (once again..) so all went well I presume! Great initiative!
Nice one guy's thank you for your job and keep the history live All the time
Awesome Video and Respect to full time plus volunteers of the Tank Museum! Hope it goes well - Cheers
Have a safe and enjoyable event.
Wonderful work and a brilliantt video. Took me back to helping my dad restore his Dingo.
Can't wait to see you in my hometown of Arnhem. We are really going all out for this 75th anniversary! Lots of great things to do in and around Arnhem this time a year. #Lestweforget
This is great. The Workshop Diaries are getting popular)).
I take great comfort from knowing that Mr Wiley has his own armoured car
Thank you to all of you taking part in #MarketGarden75. I’m sure I’m right that there is a waiting list for people in the Netherlands to take over looking after one of the graves of the men who fought to liberate their nation.
Over 10'000 views. Over 1000 likes. Not a single dislike so far. That's is close to astonishing. Bloody well done.
Heavily interested with the whole operation since discovering RG Poulussen!
You can make the rubber look new by mixing some petrol with a little bit of clear silicon and brushing it.
BRAVO !!! Good luck with your trip.
Keep the videos coming. They make me want to volunteer for the workshop. 👍
Cool, welcome David Willey to the Netherlands !
What an excellent video. Throughly enjoyed watching it. 😊👍🏻
Fantastic content, I look forward to the documentary for the 75th anniversary celebration
Well done guys. I hope it all goes smoothly for you.
Can't wait to see, The result of the trip excited to see that a Sherman is getting to make the journey as well As the armor cars
Thank you for these videos. Wonderful work and wonderful museum. Have fun and take care in Holland o7
Thanks.
Is it just me or does David Willie look a bit like a happy dog when hes driving his Daimler with the wind rustling his hair and beard?
Finntastic really.
Great stuff !!! Must be nice (and difficult often) to renovate the vehicles !!
Excellent work!
Good luck lads! Respect to 30 core and all the rest.
The Daimler Dingo and Armoured Car are two of my favourites. :-)
Hope to see you guys in Holland! Best of luck
Great work, respect! Plse show some pictures of the shipping too ...
Don't know if he's going, but how cool would it be to see David Fletcher dressed as a WW2 British Officer standing up in one of those vehicles leading his men through the streets of Holland?
Excellent video
Its like watching wizards work, amazing.
Good luck chaps!
Welcome to Holland, more welcome than you were 75 years ago, I hope!
Nice one, have fun!
Today they are on their way through Eindhoven and arrive at their destination at 16.00
The reenactment of the paratrooper dropping is at 21 September on the Ginkelse Heide.
Thank you ,
David Willey proper Englishman doing maintenance on his Dingo, never removing his tie!
What do you fill them up with. Surely in the day they were running on leaded fuel?
15:43 "That looks like an 'apprentice job' to me, boys."
The Morris has the Allied Star on its side. I had to Google because I had always thought that was an American only marking but I gather that is incorrect. How common was the white star? I gather it was used 1944 forwards?
Were the dingo wiring casings originally braided steel? Looks great!
83RBurke I thought that looks very premium hahaha but I doubt they would have had any great plastic type materials to use
steel armored wiring did exist at the time. although it would have included cloth wrapping in with the steel to act as an insulator. Got an 52 GMC that still as a short section of such wire. although basic cloth wrapped wire was pretty par for the course. vinyl coated wires also existed as did plastic. the non cloth stuff tends to get pretty stiff.
Captian Nemo ahh very interesting sound like you know your stuff
Does the events have a live stream?
Good to see all the measurements being done in Imperial! Inches and parts thereof rule OK!
Dingo, my favourite.
Did either Dingo spend time in the long gone Warnham War Museum? I went there around 1975, and remember a Dingo and Universal Carrier. I've wondered where they went.
18:20 Have you considered using lightweight sheet metal belly plates to keep the underside clean while minimizing the weight?
It would be great to walk in the footsteps of those British paras and XXX corps to tried to save them.
I will jump that saterday!
Who fired the 6 Pound shell which disabled Tiger No 131? The tank museum owns his estate some royalties.
You didn't chase the spark plugs threads when the head was off?
Glad to see over one thousand likes and only one dislike.
Hi guys great videos. I have a question i cant find an answer too. Why could some tank guns only fire H E and not AP rounds? Like the grant hull gun?Whats different? Id really appreciate an answer.
It might be to do with rifling or muzzle breaks
Were there no Churchill tanks in market garden?
14:00 Can you imagine cutting some green car off and then you glance in the rearview mirror and see it has a machine gun sticking out?
I'd love to know more info on the Morris mk1 recce armoured car.
15:41 ...and that was the day I quit my summer internship.
Great surname Jonothon
Clearly, the biggest problem these vehicles have is that the steering-wheel is on the wrong side. The Sherman M4-A4 excepted........
Out.
