    knocked out the park again. cracking work by all. think what i love is the end of the video you said 'im not making you like or subscribe, you do as you like around here'.. thats refreshing to not have that rammed in your face every video, far too many channels do that. Ted on top form as per usual.

    Joe, There is only one thing left to say, and that is GOOD LUCK AT TANK FEST 2024. Seriously tho', you have done a superb job of restoration on the FV4005 in the short time you've had it. So there are somethings not quite ready, but compared to what it could have been with all the struggles etc. You've done Bloody Marvellous Miracles to her, and she should be displayed with pride and you should be very pleased with what you achieved in the time. WELL DONE JOE & TEAM....

  • @aserta
    @aserta 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +64

    6 months and all that? That's well in my book. Parts had to be made, things had to be untangled, paint, troubles. Then some out time for some of the team. All understandable. Given how well it looks, it's surprising you managed to get it all as good as it is - and 90% running. When it's all said and done, it's going to be a great piece. You done did good!

    I don't think you would look a fool even if it did break down, everyone knows how much time and effort it has taken to get it to this stage they will just appreciate the fact that its there looking shiny and new again. Well done all of you for the hard work. Special recognition to Ted for pulling it all together and keeping you all in line lol. Hope tankfest is a brilliant success.

  • @TheNobleBrit
    @TheNobleBrit 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I went to tankfest myself for the first time just because of this amazing machine youve brought back to life. My humble thanks to every single person who made this possible, this machine was sat rotting away outside, destined to die. But because of an idea, it was brought back, better than ever. And it put the biggest smile on my face seeing it drive for the first time at tankfest, and hopefully not the last time either. And if thatgs the case, sign me up for next year!
    Anyway, i think its time to give its little brothers some love... the conway and chartioteer hidden away in the bovington hanger! then it can be son, father and grandfather all together!
