- Part Four of the Matilda Diaries further explores the long-winded and extremely painstaking job of cleaning and fixing the suspension on the Matilda II. Support the work of The Tank Museum, by donating just £2/$2/€2. tankmuseum.org/...
Throughout the course of this series The Tank Museum aims to lift the lid on the overhaul of its Second World War Matilda II tank.
Viewers will have a chance to see the challenges involved with the project overall, as well as the nitty gritty of dismantling and reassembling a 70 year old vehicle.

There are so many "little" pieces that come together to create an amazing and mechanically beautiful machine.
God I'd love to work there. There must be so many years of skill and experience in that place. You couldn't ask for better people to be working on your old tanks.
All I can say for this video is... FANTASTIC. This series continues to present important and interesting information. Fantastic work!
seeing the armour over the track units close up, its easy to understand why the Italians had great difficulty in knocking them out! i love this series, very well made, clear filming and great explanation of the process....nice people too...well done!
They Italians couldn't knock out a mobility scooter.
Really goes to show how some components on a wartime tank like that fall under the "it seemed like a good idea at the time" category (in reference to the return roller design that the crews needed to weld to keep from falling apart, and the whole "keep clear of mud" idea on a vehicle that WILL be driving through muddy areas).
best museum in the world. please make more videos
Love this series. Please make more of this type of film. Would make a superb full length documentary.
Im not a fan of the way the tank is designed around the tracks and suspension. Other than that its a fine machine. Love these videos. Thanks to all of you guys taking the time out from your work to talk to us and keep us in on the work. We appreciate it immensely.
I've been following all of these! Very nice!!
I would not have the patience for it, but much respect to you all doing this, keeping history in function.
This series is fantastic, thank you for taking the time out from the restoration to make them.
Loving the series. Massive thumbs up!
Kudos to all the folks who worked on this restoration; would love to get back to Bovington and buy you all a pint!
But wow! All those beautifully machined bits + North African sand = some very grumpy maintenance crews! I guess that’s what you get when you ask a locomotive manufacturer to design a tank suspension!
Would love to know how this suspension design (with all of its tight tolerances and brass bushings) compares with, say, an M4 Sherman’s suspension.
Lovely job, and this series really gives me a new appreciation for how complicated and precise these machines really were! Little jewel boxes under all that cast armor!
I'm going to Bovington this summer, can't wait to see all the tanks!
Just saying now. Your mind will be blown. Also get cheesy chips at the cafe.
Is that Bob Darwood formerly of the Isle of Wight tank meuseum? Good to see he's still doing what he loves.
Thank you for this very interesting series.
Excellent work & explanations guys & gals of TTM, good luck and un-skinned knuckles to you all.
Thank you for a great series.
Although I have no idea what they are talking about, I do find it very interesting.
I get the feeling I am in a handful group that actually understood everything they said. And I'm not educated in mechanical school or anything...
If you understand the basics of automotive engineering, this vehicle in particular is pretty easy to understand. They were not very complex by today's standards, but the did require a lot of hours to build and maintain.
Love the restoration. Great video to learn English too, love the accents. :D
You guys are just awesome. I just love seeing such skill in engineering.
I will be there next month, really looking forward to it!
Awesome & agree make them longer I know they take time but this is great information
Amazing job!
Great video!
Damn. Very intense work load they have. Makes me want to head down there a volunteer. Shame I don't live all that close.
Please PLEASE make these vid's Looooooooooooooooongera s in the duration. I cannot speak for anyone other than myself but I find it very interesting. So please make them longer..Just askin is all..
Yeah, that woudl be nice - but then they would have no time to do the restoration work! :)
wow,very good i like it!
Great video thank you.
We need longer videos!
If i where retired and nearby...I would sit restoring this stuff for free!
Thanks.
Nice work as always! I wonder, are there any other youtube channels with similar WW2 vehicle restoration work being showcased?
@the tank museum Love these keep them up and once the Matilda is complete will there be other vehicles
my uncle is a work shop engineer and I'm going out to bovington today
I can see a zap with a wielder would do the job but I can think of many less drastic options to stop the caps holding the bearings coming lose, especially as you would need to get them off after. I wonder if that was a standard solution or just something done by whichever maintenance unit was working on this Matilda at the time wherever that was?
This looks like more hassle than it should be. How did they keep them running during the war?
If you reapply the same camo scheme, will you be correcting the blue color?
So do you re-weld the top rollers now, or use some kind of Loctite?
do we know if the matilda will be ready for tankfest 2016?
Look at the state the tank is in currently. Now ask yourself if you think they can get it all back together and running in a week.
dont know whether this is the current state of the tank or recorded some time ago. I just know that last time I was there they said they hoped it would be ready for tankfest.
It would be very poor film making for them to say "current project we're working on" in a video if it isn't going to be released around the same time of the recording of the video.
Matilda 2 was running a while back but because it encountered issues as did the Churchill running up to tankfest they decided to restore it properly.Hell you can even see that this is being funded by the Arts Council. And the tank museum only won the money for that earlier this year.
Always clean your bogey unit
ERM !! ERM !!! ERM !!!!!
where the part 5?
Its in the making ffs. Look how old this part is. Its a youtube channel, not a machine gun. They dont spit out new videos every second.
how about maus?
Your question would be better directed at Kubinka in Russia and not Bovington in England.
And Kubinka wouldnt do anything like this.
Nope since it is "unpatriotic"
