    Indy talks to Tank Museum curator David Willey about the evolution of the British Tank during World War 1. From the early beginnings with prototypes like Little Willie and the first deployed Mark I to later versions like the famous Mark IV, the Mark V and lesser known tanks like the Mark IX, Mark V** or Mark VIII "Liberty Tank".

    It's a great museum. They've got some pretty rare tanks exhibits and when I was there, you could ride a tracked vehicle and climb inside a tank with a tour from a veteran. Short train ride from London. Really worth the time.

    Just to say, when I was a kid in the 1970's, I couldn't get hold of proper diagrams for these tanks, or internal photos, even. I had to rely on a small town library. This type of video is a GREAT thing about the Internet. Fake news, not so much.

      Lincoln cathedral was the tallest building in the world from 1311 to 1549. The first building to be taller than the great pyramid. And you've got tanks, and, apparently, biscuits and a cool castle. Rethink your 'lesser known' status.

    • @BruceRheinstein
      @BruceRheinstein 6 років тому +3

      The main complaint is the colorization, which is flawed at points. For example, a green prototype triplane, flown by Rochthofen, is shown as red. But I find it helps greatly in picturing what things looked like at the time. It's not the best WWI documentary, but a useful one.

      The Great War (1963) and

      Apocalypse WW1 has some nice footage and decent content but
      The First World War and The Great War are still better

    @joanjones1090 5 років тому +1

    In memory of John Williams (Grandad) and his gunner who was only 15 years old and killed at this first action. Only 12 men survived that first outing and they retreated. In the woods where Grandad met up with his brother who had enlisted with fellow Canadians. Grandad made it home, mentioned in dispatches, but the fumes he had inhaled in driving a tank damaged his lungs and that eventually killed him.

    So cool seeing the development of the tank. Especially seeing the models that didn't get to the battlefield. Some soldiers were scared by the Mark 1 - imagine facing the Mark 9 with 30 guys coming out of it. Also fun fact - I want to university in Lincoln, where some of the first tanks were built. Whilst I was there they put up a memorial to the tank on one of the roundabouts leading into the city. So cool to be around actual history. Another great video guys - love all this on the road footage. Adds so much information.
