Where's the beer tent... lol. Got your priorities in order lol. This is about as wet as when I visited Fort Nelson the other day. If you haven't been there you should check it out. It's free entry too.
The Hawker Hurricane I, code DT-A, is in the markings of Battle Of Britain ace Robert Stanford Tuck. The Spitfire IX, next to it, code JE-J, is in the markings of fighter ace Johnny Edgar Johnson. This is the plane a million Airfix Spitfires were based on.
Awesome :) I was as the WaPR 2017 on the Saturday. The weather held out right till around 3:50. The main re-enactment in the arena was awesome. My 4th year of going :) Glad its returned to Hop Farm as it is almost an hour closer to our home :D
As I said Ian, the tank engine is a Meteor, poor cousin of the Rolls Royce Merlin.... which you heard singing above you in the Spitfire..... that Meteor on the other hand was running very rough..... maybe the reason it's up for sale? As for fitting into a Transit.... it could be done but would not be cheap..... but.... Chris's Transit could pull a trailer with one fitted so you could take it around the shows.......and make some noise!
Yes, The Meteor was only running on 10 at most, hence the bloke checking exhaust manifold temps. with the thermometer, lots of valve train noise aswell?.
I can't believe I missed meeting you this year, I'm in the video at 10:30 opposite you while you're filming the us coming out of the arena after the battle, my brother had just been in the reenactment, I was in the one the day before. Come and find the A.M.P.S (Allied military vehicle preservation society) next year and have a beer with us in our bar. Keep up the good work.
brilliant loved this video I've always wanted to go. was hoping to go this year but work commitments took over.. hopefully next year fingers crossed. thanx for sharing this video..
That was really cool bro, some of the tubers I follow go to the Woodhall Spa 1940's weekend and that is always good also with the Lancaster, Hurricanes and spitfires flying over. ATB
To think I may have started all this. I organized the 1st WWII reenactment in May of 1975 and was the founder of the WWIIHRS, Inc. in the USA. You can read about it in my book, A BRIDGE TO TIME, which is available through Amazon. I'll be at our big reenactment in Rockford, IL at Midway Village Museum in Sept. autographing copies. Look for me in the Red Barn. I was 25 when I put that first one on and I'm still at it but I've promoted myself to a Brigadier in the Canadian Army. I often act as Prime Minister Churchill's aide and driver. Terry, St. Louis, MO; USA
The tank full of shell holes and shrapnel scars is a very rare Canadian Ram tank. It's unusual to see one with a turret. Most had the turrets removed, and were used after D-Day as armoured personnel carriers. For some reason, they were then known as 'Ram Kangaroos'.
Did you know that the tank you saw inside of with the bullet holes was actually used in a firing range and when I went to the War and Peace Revival I was lucky enough to see it running and driving about. I wish I saw you there but sadly I believe we went on different days.
Colin should be in more of your videos, I think you, Chris and Colin make a great team and reminds me abit of the grand tour trio (Hammond, May and Jeremy).
Will see what I can do, had a bit of a crazy year! I'm in a few of the Vlogs, will have to join an explore soon! Used to be out exploring with Ian all the time about 10 years ago!
that tank with all the holes in it is a Ram2. A Canadian tank based on the m3 lee. After the war they were given to any county that wanted them. Most ww2 tanks when they were no longer need they were scraped. In the case of this one put on a target range and shot at.
Ram2 was a cruiser tank designed and built by Canada in the Second World War, based on the U.S. M3 Medium tank. The Grizzly1 was a Canadian-built M4A1 Sherman tank with some modifications.
Kinda interesting as these Revivals go on in the UK. Not so in the USA. But I guess it is offset with the gun freedoms we have in the USA. I know I have accumulated a lot. But I am a Vietnam Vet so have lived it..{I was a Tank Commander.}
6:45 these guys don;t need an orange shirt to give away there Dutch decent... their sloppy English does it every single time.. says this Dutch person..
When I was a kid we used to explore the nearby army range and climb into the target tanks - seeing what modern (well 1980s) anti tank weapons do made me decide I never wanted to be tank crew !
@1:50 did anyone else see those really tall people beside them!?!

When I was a kid we used to explore the nearby army range and climb into the target tanks - seeing what modern (well 1980s) anti tank weapons do made me decide I never wanted to be tank crew !
I was thinking, I feel like watching an IKS video, and then this just popped up in my notifications. Noice.
