    You need to get Bovington to put a compilation of the restoration video on display with it when it’s all done 😂 Mad amount of detail and Mad workers 👍🏻 Really looking forward to seeing it in action.

    I suspect I will never get the chance to visit @thetankmuseum, but if I do I will appreciate even more this unique vehicle thanks to your videos about restoring it. That @tinkeringwithtanks video was very interesting and informative. Jack's work looks phenomenal and if not for videos like this there wouldn't be the opportunity of it even to be recognized except by the couple of folks who would experience pulling the pack. I'm digging that painting. Very nice,

    From tank hull paint booths and forklift work benches comes great work. Jack is rightly proud - these videos are the record for work people won't see when it's finished. The mark of a proper job is work in depth, regardless of what can be seen. Preserve the history whilst renovating the rest. Champion job. Crack on.
