    In the first clips you can see David Willey, the Tank Museum curator, who has just retired!

      Yes. I was sad to hear of him retiring. Had I of known while I was at the museum I would of been sure to go and say thankyou as I passed him a few times each day. I do have a copy of the chieftains book can opens that both he and David willy signed in a comical fashion for me :D

    Really good footage, great sound too, interesting to see the difference in road wheels, the small ones look very fragile compared to the larger ones on the Comet.
    Keep up the good work 👏

    So basically half of the entire British army tank division is basically being halled up in bovington whilst the remaining parts of the British artillery is being housed at Warwick castle, all the while ein from forgotten weapons and the UK rifle association are the only ones with firearms..
    So to summarize the entire British military… a third of our military has guns the other third of our nation’s firearms are either in someone’s private collection or stuffed in a museum, the other third of our guns are from one man’s gun collection, our navy consists of two carriers where only one of them has any actual aircraft ready for it, five destroyers, two frigates and half a dozen cruise ships and HMS Victory. Our airforce consists of about thirty tornados, twenty euro fighters and the red arrows along with a dozen or more civilian aircrafts. On the ground we’ve barely got two hundred outdated tanks with no ammunition since we sent it all to Ukraine, the tanks that do have ammunition are the three CHALL3 test beds capable of using nato standard ammunition, the rest are stuck in cold storage or are being scrapped for spare parts, we have no spare anti aircraft defense systems whatsoever since again the few surviving systems which we do have are made by a company that no longer exists which is to be used on a platform that’s no longer in service and can be bought by the average civilian for about thirty grand. As for the other remnants of our tank forces are stuck inside a tank museum or currently being used to guard a gate, as for the artillery we have about a hundred or so artillery pieces with just enough ammunition for each of them before we’re forced to steal a 18th century cannon from a castle and in a pinch a trebuchet. As for the infantry need I say more 😢😢 god save England and god help us all if we’re ever invaded 😂😂

    Do all British tanks have number plates?

    • @Truffle1947
      @Truffle1947  5 днів тому

      I don't think I am qualified to say that absolutely all British tanks have plates. But theres certainly a lot of them with plates.
      Any privately owned ones will have plates and as a rule our military vehicles do have plates. Black plates with silver lettering :)
