"The Great Taste of Little Willy" ,..... this sir, is the stuff of legend.
You should model a few of those for the video. I think you have some experience with that .
You sir are also the stuff of legend.
Just watched your lee Metford bayonet video britishmuzzleloaders- great stuff!
@@chexquest87 Thanks!
@@jmullner76 A bit....
Curator Time.
Come on grab your friends
We'll go to see some tank stuff.
With Finn the dog and David the human
The fun will never end.
Curator Time!
Best comment on the internet!
Somebody should make a jingle of that!
As soon as he said "Finn the dog" I had to check the comments for something like this lol, thank you
The dog almost needs his own video.
🐶🐾🐾🐶 👍
Agreed
scratch the *almost* part and you are right
almost?
39.14 the dog freezes .... alas no more?
Cheers David you certainly earned that beer talking non-stop for 40 minutes on a hot day. Nice nod to the health workers 👍
We need a crossover with forgotten weapons and his hat collection
We need Ian at the tank museum.
I'm sure he'd dissect the armament side.
Forgotten hats
"The History Guy" has a detailed video about the developement of the French helmet. He too is a collector of headgear.
I love how they include the audio marker clap in every video, makes it feel even more British for some reason.
*David Sees a helmet*
"This will make a fine addition to my collection"
My great grand father survived a head wound in his Brodie in France in 1917. He had a head injury but made it out alive. We still have the helmet with the shrapnel damage.
Have you ever considered going on Just A Minute?! You're ability to talk interestingly for 45 minutes is amazing
Just jumped up and down and texted my parents when I realised the legendary David Willey is from my home town of Eastbourne!!
During your "Curator at Home" chats, We've grown accustomed to the company of Tank Dog Finn. He even did a Fins Favorite 5 Tanks at one point. It's always nice to see him.
I do think the Military Apparel and equipment issue is a plus for the Tank collection itself. I even know a young boy who still has his father's Helmet from military operations, during which unfortunately his dad was killed. So these items carry a lot of emotional importance for people. Headgear seems to represent the individual.
Every video I have seen is great fun to watch. Thank you very much.
Well done David. Nice sentiments at the end. Thankyou
I’m really liking these at home videos. Keep up the hard work, we’re all appreciating it
These videos are a highlight of the day. Thank you for this information, presented as always in an engaging way.
Thank you so much for your time, and providing such great information and entertainment, in your back yard. :-)
Thank you, these videos have been a great comfort during these times.
Thank you David for that shout out to the essential people. Thank you for the videos they help here in NYCovid.
Wonderful 3/4 of an hour history lesson. Definitely deserved a beer. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you.
Having a Nice time seeing this during lockdown.... Like these stories... From the Netherlands!
Love the way your dog wanders in and out, just hanging with Dad while he talks to a box.
Interesting presentation too.
"The great taste of Little Willie" - EPIC! :)
Absolutely brilliant, it's almost worth suffering lockdown to see David's videos.
At this time when everyone is in quarantine many thanks for keeping us in contact and entertained and informed. Many thanks. Cheers on your Beer and bottoms up.
Im in the USA and one of the places I want to visit before I get to old to travel is Bovington.
Great post, lovely to raise a toast to the keyworkers at the end 👏
Thank you , Mr Willey .
These vids have been a highlight of this lockdown! Its lovely to hear you talk about these things you are clearly so knowledgable and passionate about, and that cheeky dry humour of yours really makes my day.
Great vlog David,thanks looking forward to more,and am enjoying the three books I ordered from the shop and arrived at the start of this week. Thank you.
I’ll happily look
after a kit bag full of David’s spare stuff!
Also, what a cool guy to have as a grandad 👍
¡Salud! To you too sir. Thank you for the extensive and informative content. It is a nice way too spend a few minutes in the morning with a cup of coffee, a refined British voice, and some seldom seen military kit. Keep up the fine work.
David thank You so much for this content!
I could watch Mr Willey talk for a long time on the history of flower picking, I love these curator videos!
These videos are brill, many thanks
Cheers 🍻! Great episode, thank you 👍
The way his voice broke up in the end talking about healthcare workers 45:30 ~ish, so sweet
Classic! Helmets and Little Willie!
During this period of social distancing, I'm increasingly loving your videos. Fantastic 46 minutes.
Not going to lie I was really excited for this video when I saw the title and I was really hoping he would talk about helmets they were what got me interested in military history as well
Thank you for uploading these videos
The Curator was invaded at 18:00 in But, they didn't spot him...
The dog was on watch!...
Really enjoyed this!
Intersting as always, and a bit of fun too. A great help in these days. Many thanks! :)
Ice Cold Beer in a lovely Garden on a Beautiful Sunny Day! Aaaah!
Nice one on the Cheers at the end, & thanks for another great Video.
Hopefully not ice cold, it wasn't a lager. Most British beers are meant to drunk at what's called cellar temperature, about 12 degrees celsius.
Cheers Mr Curator enjoy the beer
As always, thanks for taking the time to produce these videos. If I hadn't been out of work for the past 4 weeks, I'd certainly donate something. Hopefully by summer I can.
Just watching these curator at home videos now in 2023 long since Covid restrictions have disappeared. I have to say bravo for the work that David has done here, these videos are excellent and every bit as good (better in my opinion) than the usual content well done for keeping content going in a difficult situation and keeping your viewers well entertained!
Here here Curator. Well everyone raise a glass.
So we started with The Challenger and The Chieftain and now we have The Curator. Outstanding.
Love these videos. Great series.
Improvised or not these are absolutely brilliant.. Give the doggo a treat!!
Thank You so much. I believe these curator at home series are one of the top 10 best things has happened due to extra time at home cause of covid :) Also I am fascinated that these longer videos with David Willey are so much better that those shorter ones before pandemic when in 5 min frame he needed to push in so much material that his personality was subdued. now there is time and space and Mr. Willey has so many characteristics as Mr.Fletcher. and of course - the dog :) Thank You very much. Small suggestion: if there are some information bits about Italy, Poland, USSR, Sweden within announced theme, it would be great to hear them, otherwise WW2 was between two countries. Please keep up this great work!
I love how much content this channel is cranking out during the quarantine! Keep up the great work!
The modern army helmets were inexpensive in surplus because the kevlar fibers of the shell and the resin that binds the fibers together, can degrade over time. Many pieces of equipment can survive for years and perform as if they were new, but for the army it's a better safe than sorry practice to limit helmets to a service life of 5 years or so.
Also if there is any shock absorbing foam under the shell, the foam will gradually lose its ability to absorb shocks and just transmits them to the head of the wearer. Modern racing helmets and bicycle helmets have shelf lives because of this too.
Fascinating video as usual ... but the dog really does it for me!😄
Extremely interesting video. Thank you!
The content you all are creating is so good, I opine that the one think Covid-19 has not ruined is the The Tank Museum TH-cam channel.
Both you and Richard have a fascination with military headgear! Thanks for the continued content David!
Go for head gear collection of the Gun Jesus
@@HanSolo__ or the history guy.
I'm a young militaria collector who also shares your love of helmets. Its eerily how much what you say about your own path into this area lines up so well with mine.
Only real difference in my case if that I also collect gas masks to the same degree. They just seem to complete the display.
Love the dog, and how you didn't let that upset you or lead to the dog being punished. Good on you. One thing I always liked to point out is that a great deal of effort and money was spent by the US DOD on developing the first iteration of the Kevlar helmet, and it was almost identical to the German WW1 and WW2 helmet.
Can't believe I had missed this, what a nice surprise.
First off, cheers! Second, again, thank you for giving up your time and knowledge, please don't think these videos are not appreciated, they are, very much so, they say the very young have a memory like a sponge, I say as we get older (I'm 62) our hunger for knowledge grows, again, thank you.
Great videos guys, keep it up.
The views/likes ratios on this clip is amazing btw.
Helmet, the one thing that saves you from getting alot of headache (literally) when moving around inside unfamiliar armored vehicles.
the 2nd best thing is ear protection to avoid longer term headaches xD
Nobody has wiped nitroglycerine onto your headband then! Not funny.
Tank Museum... DOUBLE THIS MAN'S SALARY!... or at least a nice fat bonus! The main reason I (probably many others) donate to the museum is because of this man. David, I can listen to you speak and enlighten for hours on end. THANK YOU & KEEP UP THE FINE WORK!
Thanks for your efforts.
Awesome collection of hats.
I was watching a U-tube channel and the show about British Military Headgear, from the tall Bear Skin of the Royal Guard, the Metal Type with long Horse like tails.
I remember when I seen US ARMY TANKER and APC Crew's wearing the US helmet with the oversized ear covering for a speaker and mic for intercom and radio.
Super late, but David we do like these more personal videos. Curators are interesting people, yourself included. Cheers from Seattle!
Great video, and brw, Loyal beautiful dog, taking rest at the feet of his master
Lovely video! Thank you.
My beautiful Adrian helmet! My favourite helmet in all of history!! Be it French, Russian or Belgian. Incredible design, even Churchill liked it 😊
what? no love for italian, serbian, yugoslavian, romanian, mexican, peruvian, etc,etc,etc adrians????
Also Adrian pauldrons, made a few million
The only good thing about the "bone dome" was that you could pull it down over your browline,lean forward,and rest your head on the TLS ,and sleep on the move,head gently moving back and for with the stabilised gun
i love the look of the adrian.
haha i always like it when you clap - i don't know why, but there's something comforting about it
Would be for sound check. If he is recording using separate audio to video. Same as the old school movie clacker board. To align video to audio.
Superb talk, great stuff!
I visited Stockholm many years ago and saw the changing of the guard, but still using this old type German type helmet!
In 1918, there were at least two helmet manufacturing companies in Michigan, many of them were supplied to the CEF & British Army, as American troops were issued both British & French helmets during 1917. Having worn both modern US helmets, the standard M1 WWII helmet weighs much less than the 1980s US Kevlar helmet, as much as a whole pound since the Kevlar helmets came in 3 sizes.
Brilliant video, thank you. The dog is great, too! Lots of the Manganese for the British helmets came from North Wales :)
Loving this content!
Tank crew side arms, good show!
Mr. Willey seems to have a quite nice private collection.
@Paul Alexander uhh
@Paul Alexander ok
Maybe he has got also a couple of tanks in his garage.
Bet "The History Guy" is jealous.
@Paul Alexander not kleptomaniac- "creative requisitionist"
French troops: will I look good in it?
English troops: Can I brew tea in it?
americans; can i wash my socks in it?
French, will it slow me down when I run away....
British,there hasn't been an English Army for hundreds of years
@@stevenbreach2561 However English Troops, which was the term used, remained a thing, just as Scottish Troops and Irish Troops and Fijian Troops and ... did and do. It's all great fun, they may all end up serving in, or attached to, a Welsh unit in, as you say, the British Army.
@@peterfinucane8122 Typical stupid comment, some jerk always have to make it in a vid with french history content and it was you ! Congrats to be the stupid ignorant guy from those comments and to make it public !
As probably additional content to the explanations of David Wiley the German Tank Museum Munster published a video-series related to their current special exhibition about the history of the German Steel-helmet in the first World war a few weeks ago. Definitely worth seeing! th-cam.com/play/PL6k5QyECppTcOfhqXfzHvW5qmdHjCvDzt.html
its aweome. but the auto translate leaves a bit to be desired lol.
Curator at Home Stuff is great when lock down is Over Could used this a based for show Curator at Large or Crew Chats But base on this set up. Love the show
Just spending some time with a very respected man (by me) during quarantine ;)
When this is all over, we need a doggy tour of the museum!! Get a camera and follow Finn as he walks around and sniffs at all of the tanks!
Love the videos keep it up and stay strong
As a former Australian Infantryman, I can tell you that the steel shell on an M1 US helmet is very useful for shaving in, or in a defensive situation, shitting in.
as an avid m1 collector your comment makes me both happy and sad lol.
I'd love to see a video of your collection of all your helmets sometime, helmets are what got me into militaria too
patches got me into it, but helmets definitely hijacked things lol.
So cool!
Doggo: "There he drones on and on about protecting his bats in the belfry........"
I, too love headgear. My hat collection confuses and irritates the wife...
I have an original ottoman fez that I wear to special occasions
@@thomashambly3718 huzzah! A man of quality!
@@thomashambly3718 fezzes are cool
Interesting presentation, thanks.
10/10 for the content. 11/10 for Finn the dog!
Well, now I know what to get Dave for Christmas. Obscure military helmets
Most interesting video and a cool dog too.
Hi David... thank you for these " lockdown videos" An intetesting subject well presented without the help of a big team behind you. And I'd like to join you in thanking EVERYONE who is still working to keep Britain going. Not just the incredible NHS but people like refuse collectors whos jobs have become harder... the armed forces who are onceagain proving they are the masters of adeptation.
'The taste of Little Willy' - lol 😂
Cheers Sir, and Thank you
My Father served as a British Tommy in WW2. He was not a great fan of the Brodie helmet as it was dislodged so easily. One bonus was when engaged in close combat, the Brodie helmet’s sharp edge greatly assisted when you head butted your opponent
Hearing somebody like David say "The great taste of little willy" makes it all the funnier.
Cracked me right up 🙂
I love this man
I rememeber having to pull the WW2 AFV crew helmet of a member of my troop when someone had smacked him on the head. The trouble was it had no liner in and the stud and gone into the flesh! That was in the Mid 80's on CVR(T).
"Finn the dog" is a star!
