You friggin' beauty, cheers for that ❤

Poor JCB, they spent a fortune building that tank. 75% of that show should have been about building that tank instead of the minutes they received....a massive effort. WWI was such a waste of humanity, 1800's top of soldier warfare intersecting with efficient, lethal technology. Watch the movie "And they shall live forever"

How did I miss this for 6 years? Great job Guy and to everyone involved.

To Quote someone we know This is headshaking " Marvelous " , " Unbelievable " , Can you Believe that " . can't wait till I get to the gun building part .

I did the math. Glasgow raised £50 million in 1916 and adjusted for inflation today is £3.4 billion. People were just different back then.

Incredible. First time watching this. What a tribute. I’m American and have a deep love of British history. My grandfather actually served in France in WWI. He was already in his 70’s when I came around but I do remember some conversations when he talked about being amazed at British technology at the time. That little island nation never ceases to amaze me with what it can do. I proudly own a Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR and also a vintage Bonny in my motorcycle collection. The torque on my Triple will snap your fu-ing arms off. It sounds like no bike you’ve ever heard. Cheers!

Great welding job!!!

😢😥

They were ABSOLUTELY BRAVE!

16,000 per week on average! 18,000,000? That’s quite insane!

1:02:08 Wtf XD

UK police, bunch of idiots. They would ban breathing if they thought people would listen. Ridiculous. Its not like the damned tank was hurtling down the road like a boyracer, it wasnt going to be silent and sneak up on someone, hell they could even have been useful and stuck some people around to make sure no one ran under it. But... of course thinking, brains, life doesnt come in to it with the pigs

Typical that the big Govt Lincoln Council didn't have the respect to let this tank parade in the very city that owes its freedom to such brave men and machines... The UK is f*cked with infiltrated liberal PC BS.

Haha! I love it! Guy: "You're not going to hit the nail on the head at the first bite of the cherry." about 1:30

Homing pigeons...made a sumptuous meal for Captain Blackadder...

What a great show. Well done

I hereby vouch that the next bit of machinery that I buy for my mine here in Canada, will be JCB. That's my way of saying "thank you!" Thanks to all involved in this project ... except for the folks that stopped it being in the parade at Lincoln. My god, have you never heard of engineering and hazard mitigation? Whatever your concerns were, they could have been allayed. Twats!

irony not lost german designer did the drawings

My Granddad while in hospital recovering from ingury. The whole of the Lincolnshire regiment where killed in WW 1 . He was left thought to be dead for 9 days in a shell hole. 3 German prisoners found him made a stretcher with a coat and to posts carried him to the UK hispital tent. Saving his life. And my father was born after the war. He never forgot what these Germans did for him. When he died he still had about 12 metal shrapnel parts in his body. He many times cut shrapnel out from under his skin that had moved towards the skin surface.

Yeeej Me is the 444th thumb up....

Lullo’s Jiskefet

The early pin importantly vanish because fight coherently wipe minus a profuse athlete. arrogant, rebel pear

B for boost

The welding was cool at jcb, I used to weld window washer hooks for high rises always had to pay attention especially since they were all magniflux tested.

What they built was twisting under the strain no wonder they all broke they were built cheap as shit.

With how expensive it probably was to make the frame u think they could have a newish engine 🤣

Lincoln City Council should be ashamed of themselves. Not allowing that wonderful replica to have access to their city .

Everywhere you look in metal involved industries you can see the magnets my dad invented, MagSwitches

Wow they found A real life Heinrich Dorfmann (Flight of the Phoenix) "Of course it'll work, the design characteristics are the same.."

you have to put one in enemy action to lose one in enemy action.

What an awesome show!

Wow...just...wow.

Well Lincon certainly missed out due to the fun police, but very fitting for it to be at Cambrai

I love the fact that the engine just kept on spitting fire lol

Many congratulations to the generous help from JCB, a truly successful British firm

The women who built it, sunken eyed, the legends.

Just look at the photo of period tank crew, shorts, cut knee, thigh, grubby hands, mud, these jokers were heavy workers in a confined and dangerous space. Their faces tired, though trying to look staunch. Duty calls first.

I thought it was bigger

Imo i think the guy heeving on the breaks was being to brutal.

Nice, this is sick!!!!

Great video. Unfortunately only understood about 10% of Guy Martin's words. He was speaking English....right?????

The lads working on the engine where having such fun doing it, thats what a reals mechanics look like.

I wonder what the examiner would have said Guy taking a bike at test Island of man

Only in Britain would elfinsafti require high vis vests to be worn whilst driving an armoured vehicle!

2:35 it's so true. In school we're taught so much more about WW2 than we are about, called at the time, The War To End All Wars. It's a sad truth that it is a conflict, lost to the sands of time, and it really was Battlefield 1 that pushed me to dive deeper into the Great War. The lives of the men and women who served, the mass brawl of Nivelle, the battle of the Somme. It's insane that most of us have forgotten. But as long as we remember, as long as they are heralded as heroes, shall their efforts be not in vain. Sorry, it's a topic I hold near and dear to my heart.

he looks like a man slowly changing into a werewolf

Trust the police to throw a spanner in the works. That's about all they can do. But taking the tank to the original battlefield was very respectful. Great idea.

IT IS GREAT JOB !!! 100YEARS AGO TANK WAS BORN TO BREAK THROUGH TRENCH WAR SITUATION ALSO TO SAVE SO MANY LIVES .... I UNDERSTAND GERMANY SOLDIERS FEELING WHEN THEY SEE THE TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME. 32 YEARS LATER SO MANY SOUTH KOREAN SOLDIER FACED SOVIET T-34 TANK ON BATTLEFIELD. THEY ATTACK TANK WITH GRENADE BUT TANK WAS SO STRONG. PEACE NEVER MAKE BY MOUTH OR PAPER. WHERE DO TANK TAKE PLACE IN ENGLAND NOW ?

They barely show any footage of actually building the tank.
