- Опубліковано 15 вер 2016
- 15.9.2016 marked the 100 years anniversary of the first use of "tank" in war. The Tank Museum and Wargaming.Net brought the replica of Mark IV tank to London for a "Tank 100 Years" event, which gathered large crowds, plenty of politicians and celebrities and caused quite a show when the tank moved through the streets of London with its amaging noisy progression and top speed of 3 km/h.

This replica tank was originally created for the Steven Spielberg 2011 war movie "War Horse". The museum acquired it in 2012. About the replica:
"Built around the engine, transmission and track from a modern commercial excavator, the special effects company, which also has credits on Saving Private Ryan and Gladiator, studied original documents relating to the Mark IV held in the Tank Museum archive."
"The vehicle is a wonderful re-creation with all the presence and menace of the real thing," said museum curator David Willey. "
About Mark IV:
Following the modest success of the Mark I tanks on the Somme in 1916 the British Commander-in-Chief, Sir Douglas Haig, ordered 1,000 more tanks for 1917. This was a surprising act of faith in a new weapon for an officer with such a reactionary reputation. More factories were brought into the programme to meet the demand, notably in Glasgow and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Although the majority were built by the Metropolitan Carriage, Wagon & Finance Company at the Oldbury works. In the end production reached 1,200.
Mechanically the new tank was the same as the Mark I but it had thicker armour, improved fuel supply and modified sponsons with slightly shorter guns in the Male version. Female tanks had even smaller sponsons and were produced in the ratio two female to one male. Mark IV tanks went into action for the first time in the summer of 1917, they were the mainstay of the Tank Corps at Cambrai in November and fought through to the end of the war with 7th and 12th Battalions of the Tank Corps. It was a male Mark IV tank which won the very first 'Tank versus Tank' action in April 1918 by knocking out the German A7V tank Nixe.
Event description:
Exactly 100 years on from the first tank attack in history, The Tank Museum will honour the memory of pioneering British tank soldiers with a special appearance in central London at Trafalgar Square, supported by the World of Tanks publisher and developer Wargaming.
On 15 September 1916, during the Battle of the Somme, the British Army sent tanks into action for the first time changing the nature of warfare for ever. The men who took part in that action were young and inexperienced - the pioneers of a completely new kind of warfare.
To mark the occasion, on 15 September 2016, a British First World War tank will be positioned on Trafalgar Square for public display until 1100hrs.
Trafalgar Square has been chosen to mark the centenary for the part it played hosting `Tank Banks` during the First World War. To raise funds for the new tank army, the government sent tanks ‘on tour’ around the country in high profile War Bond drives, where the new ‘wonder weapons’ attracted huge crowds.
Trafalgar Square hosted several `Tank Banks`, as they were known, with politicians and celebrities climbing aboard to deliver speeches.
Tank Museum Curator David Willey said; “It is fitting that we should use the tank as a ‘prop’ to honour the memory of the brave and pioneering soldiers who fought in this first ever tank battle. Their experience sheds a different perspective on the conduct of the war and the experience of the troops that fought in it.”

So what!?
We're Germans now...
98 years?
Well.. they've evolved to EU, i think?
There’s something strange and magnificent at the same time to see this ancient machine of War in the streets of modern London. A relic from over 100 years ago rolling along as it’s being admired by on lookers, and 100 years ago the very noise and sight of this machine struck terror into the souls of the soldiers up against it. A machine of chaos from a dark era in human history now just casually strolling the peaceful streets of London.
You could say it's rather romantic. The idea of younger eyes looking upon this machine as a majestic beast from the distant past, while those of the past looked upon it with horror as a revolutionary weapon of the future.
Its a replica, its not 100 years old would be cool if it was tho
Amazing that that moving metal box was the beginning of tank warfare.
Amazing that bronze bucket was the start of gun warfare
A good idea, actually. The top speed is the same as the average speed at rush hour in London, and if somebody cuts you off - so be it.
Lol theyre mistake right? xD
ABANDON REASON
KNOW ONLY WAR
if you get cut off
your in a tank and they are not

I’d think a tank could crush a car rather easily, right?
The noise this machine is making must've been horrifying back then
Funny, because none of us would take this thing seriously... even though, properly led, it could easily kill all of us.
@@DieterRahm1845
Idk about that. Cannons and machine guns are no less lethal than they were 105 years ago.
@@manictiger That's why I said that these tanks could easily kill all of us.
I remember reading a book describing the sound of tank treads as "the sound of the 20th century." That stuck with me, and this Mark IV was the beginning.
when youre used to galloping horses and creaking windmills, the strange new sounds of the industrial age coming to end your life must have been absolutely other-worldly.
My blood froze in my veins. Crawling along the cratered battlefield were two mysterious monsters. The monsters approached slowly - limping, staggering, swaying - but no obstacle could stop them. They moved ever forward with a supernatural force.

It would be dreadfully loud inside, so that wouldn't be heard very well

This was once the scariest thing on the battlefield, WW1 tech.
I'd say it's the first time the German's used the flamethrower, you either burn alive or run out of the trench to get melted by artillery, rifle, and\or machinegun fire.
@@damienhyde2738 Maybe you're right, flamethrower guys were scary also, but they could be shot and killed, if this tank rolled up on you in the battlefield, you couldn't combat it, cause most armies didn't have RPGs or Anti-tank weapons back then.
True, however I think you forgot about artillery, and the tanks would also get stuck in the mud. Both are very scary to encounter though
Yikes pretty sure it was mustard gas, both because it was invisible and bc the Gas Masks didnt work on it, and the fear of your lungs being covered in blisters and your eyes crying themselves blind in minutes while you had no way to forsee it mustve been pretty scary
It was superior to chlorine in all aspects, and thats what they expected to face
Landship be like:
"This terrain is way too smooth for my feet, dahling."
I always found this design was cool how the threads just go around the whole body.

I don't want to imagine what the soldiers felt when they heard this tank approaching
This is amazing. My great uncle was a corps commander in WW1 and was at Gallipoli first then Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Messines Ridge and the Somme. When these machines first went into action there were a number of mechanical breakdowns and carbon monoxide poisoning must
have been an equally ghastly issue to have to face.
100 years old and still running,....amazing. Talk about "Built like a Tank"

This isn't a real tank. It's a replica originally built for the film War Horse (2011).
It’s a replica that is owned by The Tank Museum in Bovington.

I can't help but just love that "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" noise it makes when driving, that thing would be so terrifying to hear out in the battlefield, yet so awesome to hear on display.

The tank is to slow it's still in London
Kinda a crazy idea how it balances on a few inches of tread to be balanced to crawl over trenches. Adding in side guns to shoot down the trenches is also a good idea. Amazing how digging ditches to shelter troops was such an important, yet simple thing. Even war machines were built around it
Just to see one of these beautiful beasts actually still operational is so sweet
It's nice to see the same type of tank driving, but sadly it's not an original one but rather a replica
This is where everything came from. The Abrams, T-14 Armada, Leopard 2A...it all started a 100 years ago from a multi-ton bucket and a few gears to break the stalemate. Absolutely amazing!
Actually even though this line of tanks was the first proper tanks to see combat the idea of tanks was not new and the actual design of almost all modern tanks and tanks after ww1 comes from the French Renault FT as this tank introduced the idea of the seperate sections of a tank with the gunnery section (turret) drivers cab at the front and engine in the back. The turret was also first put into use with this tank because tanks at the time were also known as land ships and this is what designers tried to make that is why the turret section is the way it is because that was a common way of putting guns on a light ship or converted ship it also stayed in touch with the line of battle style of naval warfare which had been in use for so long but this was what the MK1, 2, 3, 4 and five were supposed to resemble a light ship just adapted for lighter ground combat but the FT also helped designers use angled armour which is much more effective than straight amour because a shell or bullet has to travel through a larger area or amour and is more likely to just bounce off.
@@REEbott86 no, these were the first proper tanks, they literally defined the word "tank". You wouldn't say a casemate isnt a tank , and the mk4 is a casemate.
@@pliat The first thing I said was that these were proper tanks the term actually came from the code word of the british landship project which was tank so that the Germans would think they were building water infrastructure rather then landships which is what they called them.
@@REEbott86i know.
All I know is Leonardo Da Vinci was the one who invented the concept
it's incredible that it managed to not break during the recording
Well this is a replica unfortunately. The real ones are too old and brittle they will break something if it moves
@@coledavis5212 Well then that's an insane replica
You mean the road?
@@coledavis5212 Don't underestimate them! If they break anything, it's the asphalt ..
@@jacktapman5293 This replica was used in the movie War Horse by Steven Spielberg. Spielberg specifically wanted a 1/1 replica Mk IV tank for the movie and had his team visit the Tank Museum to take specific detail photographs of the Mk IV's exterior and interior.

That’s the “male” variant, the “female” was fitted with machine guns. (The name on the front is “Big Brute” (just below “B46”) - and it was a battle and war winner in its day as it broke the stalemate between the lines. (That particular tank is s replica built for the movie “War Horse”.)

That wasn’t my intention. My apologies if it came across like that. I was merely attempting to inform as to the background for that particular tank, which is an amazing mock up and awesome piece of history brought back to life (which is based on a modern caterpillar chassis, just trying to inform and spread the appreciation and joy for such a marvellous piece of our history brought back to life - you are being hyper sensitive. Not everyone plays video games, and not everyone who does play them plays BF1 - some of us have lives that deal with reality on a more regular basis. If you’d never played BF1 how would you know what he was talking about? You wouldn’t - just like you don’t know me, so cannot know my motivations, so cannot state with any authority what my intention was. You’ve got Serious problems if you are so intent on throwing abuse out in such abject ignorance, trolling I think it’s called (and trolls are just Sad and the ultimate killjoys.....) - and as Albert Einstein said:
“Condemnation without investigation is the height of Ignorance.”
So effectively you’re just an archetype of ignorance vaunting your low life troll nature - and as such that makes you a hypocrite because trolls are killjoys and you are denigrating others for the very thing you are..... get a life.
It’s ok guys, I understand that Russel Hawkins was informing me about the tank, and we can all just get over this

Colin, as it’s so obvious that you fall into the latter category I apologise for stimulating your thoughts and for catalysing such a trolling reaction in yourself. Perhaps you’ve had issues with teachers in the past who tried to inform you regarding things that they thought might be of use or interesting. I’ve obviously hit a nerve and am bringing up your problems from the past. Perhaps if you would get some therapy that might help with your dysfunctional reactions to people just trying to be informative.
(And I’m using voice recognition to write this so am able to take very little time to leave what is, for you, and over lengthy reply. Calm down and try to realise that some of us like to be informed, and enjoy passing information of things that we think might be of interest to others. As I am an author, writing and sharing information is something I enjoy doing - and appreciate others that do the same in return. Sad to to learn you are one of those people that doesn’t like to hear fresh info. and prefers the “ignorance is bliss” option. I hope you get well soon and form a more healthy relationship to receiving new materiel that you didn’t previously know, and become less prone to despising those who are just sharing knowledge - that way you just might become more intelligent and less of an irate lunatic in your responses. Good luck with all that. Sorry for yet another “lengthy” reply, but I’ve tried to avoid using any long words....)

As a german I wonder what my great or great-great grandpas felt like seeing a tank. I don't know if they served in WW1 or where since I sadly don't know much about them in the war, just after the war.
I live in north germany, eastern frisia where my mothers family always lived. After the war, when supplies where short all over germany, he would ride his bicycle to Emden (it was a bike with a load area) and buy goods, ride back home and sell it in his village, with that stopping the hunger in his area. He wouldn't even sell it expensive but at reasonable prices so he could buy new supplies at Emdens harbour. The shop he sold it in was famous in my region and was held up until the 80s when my grandfather sadly died, my grandmother couldn't keep it up alone anymore and my aunt who inherited the house and Shop didn't continue it

Assuming you were fighting as part of a group and were attacked by just ONE of these your chances would actually pretty good for survival. It can't shoot directly into the trench unless it rides over it and that means it's incredibly vulnerable to attacks from underneath. It got stuck a lot and it was choking the people who operated it with fumes that would potentially kill them if they stayed inside for any longer than a half hour.
It was really only useful in large numbers and when the infantry it was attacking had no explosives, mines or anti tank weapons.
Yea but it's scary af
The tank be like: "oh dont mind me im just over 100 years old im not important"
Everyone seeing the tank:"let me introduce you to my camera"
Wait, this isn't a camera.

It's a replica
one question. can you stand on the treads at the top and run on them like a treadmill?
i will put this in every Recommended videos
I love how the treads mark the ground like that, leaving a mark on the street like it did in history
Imagine the tank stops for a second and you hear “Light em up”
Is this sound with the original/restored engine, or a replaced one ?
I can only imagine the fkn terror of facing one of these on the field and the same being trapped in one ...
Respect
BF: One be like: "It should drive like a dune buggy!"
What if the tank driver “Accidentally” shot the crowd.
Damn you can’t take a joke
No way it's will happening
The gun systems is broken
Guns are unloaded
lol xd ppl would be flying over
@@GodILoveFentanyl how do yoh know there broken? They are most likely just unloaded
Old is gold ❤️❤️🙏👍
Nice video 🙏
Amazing design for a tank!
Too bad nobody did an Indiana Jones skit.
This gave me chills. The history behind this one machine and the things this machine fought in.
Everybody gangsta until a pidgeon exit from the tank
"EDWARDS, GRAB THE PIGEON".
Such an amazing piece of engineering and pure skill it’s nice to see it running years after the war

Imagine seeing this in traffic minutes later you wont be into traffic anymore
Tank: gets old*
Restoration: Uno reverse card*
It's a replica
Wouldn't that mean that... The tank gets older??

My mistake I guess, but that’s pretty cool :O
*”Tonight on top gear! Hammond Steals the sole surviving A7V, May rampages through London in a Mark IV, and I get stuck doing paperwork with the Tank Museum Curator”*
Like watching an old veteran stroll through town in his adorable little cane, such a beautiful beast
The tank: (creaking intensifies) the road: help help help help help
Was waiting to hear "Seven Nation Army" playing out of the tank.
Lol
"Are we moving chief?"
"yeah"
"You're sure?"
Haha. It would take them a day just for the tank to charge a trench.
