Lovely little trip thank you Captain.
Glad you liked it shipmate. Film of the trip coming soon.
I’d love to do this. Gotta love a Routemaster (or any classic bus!) Thank you for sharing.
I hav been trying to go for years shipmate. It was a good day out
Another nice one Capitain,cruising on the salisbury plain.
Thanks shipmate. Have wanted to visit Imber for many years
Brought back memories of driving around Imber in my Chieftain tank in the 1980's
Now that sounds like an interesting ride, shipmate
TA Artillery for me early 80’s we we’re supposed to be training in crowd control in a hostile environment. We had the Colonel and BSM acting as a tv film crew. Our Lt “caught them filming sensitive areas and called out to us to stop them filming, so my mate lobbed a smoke grenade suddenly the BSM wasn’t a civvi anymore went mad trying to find out who did I it😂😂
@@Mr9ig it's not everyday you get to drive around in a tank, shipmate. Great memory
Thank you for sharing. That brings back a lot of memories, especially of St Giles Church where I used to work. I'd forgotten just how far Imber Village was on the plains!
That's interesting shipmate. Were you there full time, or just on the special open days?
I making a film of the Imber, just thought the bus ride was interesting enough in the first place to upload as a separate film
@@SolentShips Posted for 2 years. I loved our time there. Watching the 6 week 'schemes' as the tanks, jets, choppers etc worked from one end of the plains to the other. I still hear the tanks rumbling and squealing their way up that hill and onto the plain going on exercises. Jets flew so low over the flats you could hand the pilots a cuppa lol. I used to watch the chinooks load up on the field at the back of St Giles church with the padre and fly off up to the plain. It's like time has flown by, yet stood still. My eldest son knew Imber very well as he served too and he knew all the tunnels . We have laughed at his stories of his time there.
You got the correct seat on the bus too, nice film
Thanks shipmate. You should have seen me leg it up those stairs
@@SolentShips ❤️
How many people did you have to fight off to get the front seat on the top of the bus, lovely Captain 🙃
A bus load, shipmate
No potholes on the roads, definitely an historic trip
Very true shipmate.
I done this a few years ago very fascinating
Certainly was certainly an interesting day, Shipmate
Presumably there is a follow-up episode, when you show us around the village?
Yes, there will be Shipmate
@@SolentShips Looking forward to it. Thank you.
Ahem, "Village of Warminster!" excuse me, a small town compared to Southampton may be? But not a village by any chance. We used to go shopping there in the 70s and 80s for 'Kwick Save' in town from Gillingham in Dorset. There was also a cheap indoor market there as well. Anyway, love the front of the bus ride, I keep saying I will do the Imber trip, but I never do.
It's definitely worth the trip shipmate. Taken me years to get around to it. If it's not a port, I struggle.
@@SolentShips I used to work for BR/SWT, so I had no excuse for not going for cheap or free train travel from Southampton, but of course I was too busy working. This video reminded me that there were buses once a year, so thanks. Have you been to that village down on the Bovington tank range yet with a similar close off village with a church and school?
@@Thunderer0872 On my list to visit the Village of Tyneham, shipmate
The next live
Friday shipmate, with Disney Dream
Love that! Something different to watch. Also captain - I tried your t-shirt links but none work?
Thanks shipmate. The link for the T-Shirt worked for me. What country are you in?
@@SolentShips Thanks Captain - it appears to be active again. The website was down for a while i think. In wonderful England 🙂
@@SolentShips Was hoping for an Ahooooooy t-shirt 😄
That's for the video , caption I am watching this video from New Zealand 😂
Blimey shipmate, that's a long way away.
Sorry you are not on a routemaster, they do not have push out windows on the upper deck, ora drivers periscope. Sorry to be a pedant. Good quality fiming.
Thanks shipmate. I have no idea about buses, Route Master was the only one I knew, and I did see a few of those. Bu thanks very much, as I did see a small glass window the size of a book on the other seat, in the horizontal position, and no idea what it was for. Now I know, a drivers Periscope. Wish I had taken a look at it now. Sounds brilliant.
👏👏👏
Thanks Shipmate
