"How many vehicles in here at the moment?"
"Yes"
Perfect.
Still got space for more.
I was just about to write that.
@Sad Doggo ngl i would like to go and work there. I am a history nerd with quite the interest in AFV's but im half way across the country with HMS Trimcomerlee.
I love "behind the scenes" videos. It feels like I'm getting a privileged tour that we wouldn't ordinarily see. It's both exclusive and interesting. Please do more of these!
Here here.
seconded
Great to hear you enjoyed it Tim - part two will be coming soon!
Absolutely fantastic. Undoubtedly the world's finest collection.
And uncharacteristically for a british museum.
Mostly not stolen. 😂
@@Darilon12 Indeed, including the German tanks so kindly donated by the German army between 1939 amd 1945. Turns out the war was a huge misunderstanding, they were driving hordes of armored vehicles around Europe to donate them to museums.
@@aaropajari7058
How nice of them. Driving a vehicle into someone else's territory and leaving it there is a form of gifting. That rule is well established since the Trojan War.
@@Darilon12 Nicest people ever those guys.
@@aaropajari7058 No.
The Ship of Theseus problem with the running fleet is an interesting one.
Personally I don't mind one bit if parts get swapped out or new ones made, what's important to me is that there's AN example of a given tank still in running order rather than the entire tank being period. As I see it, all of these were new at one point and until they became 'historical' vehicles, nobody gave a thought to breaking parts with wear or changing them out for spares. Even if you make parts bespoke from scratch, if they're made to the original designs, and fitted to the vehicle correctly, they're correct.
A friend works on HMS Belfast. When they get together with US people who work on their historic ships the great difference is that British ships have displays and replicas like the charts detailing the hunt for the Bismark. THE US ships only allow actual items from the ship. This could stem from the sheer volume of historical British artifacts compared to the US.
@@chrisyoung5929 Doesn't the U.S. have a massive amount of historical ships, and the U.K very liitle (WW2 timeframe)?
@@rubenskiii true, but you always have to consider the historical time scale the two countries are working with. Britain has Nelson's Victory, Henry's 8 Mary Rose. Viking ships and neolithic coracels. You can only keep so much from whenever. The US only really looks back a few hundred years. I have lived in a house older than the US. I think Europeans are a bit more laid-back about history. We often have some around the corner.
Seeing that room full to the brim with tanks has totally blown my mind! I haven't been to the tank museum since I was a child but now my inner child wants to go once more!
When all of this covid stuff is over and done with I'm definitely convincing my parents to catch a ferry to england so I can visit the museum.
Keep up the great content❤️
Would definitely recommend it👍
COVID is here to stay how is it going away???
Thanks!
He's not wrong, the smell of tank does hit you like a freight train as soon as you walk into the VCC.
@UCHOqjy9eDX2Ho4bTcGw5Btw Watch the video, they tell you.
Yes, but the floor is only open during special events like Tiger Day and Tankfest as far as I know.
How many tanks can you fit under 1 roof?
Yes
Old metal, oils, various solvents, and old rubber.
Smells like victory
Whoever build the foundation of that building is a master
Best tank museum in the world
3:09 finally a look at Berlin camo.
It works! I wasn't sure what on earth I was looking at and I *knew* it had to be a British tank.
Didn't know you had an online shop. Just ordered myself some books and socks! Good luck with this fantastic museum and I hope to come and visit soon!
Many thanks Rus!
We would all love to see the FV4202, can you put the pin back in the track and drag it to the main arena, right now it’s as far away from the VCC balcony as possible
Excellent to have a 'Peak' behind the scenes. A big thank you to all at The Tank Museum, for helping to keep History alive.
Thanks Nick - stay tuned for part two!
Proudly wear my tank museum facemask at work! Miss you guys can't wait to get back!
Sadly, only a VERY FEW museums bother to take care of their exhibits, let alone try to keep a staff that knows how to repair, fix, and rebuild machines. So big THANKS to the Tank Museum for working so hard. That was a great walkthru and talk, thanks.
Thank you So Much for the behind the scenes tour.
I am Definitely coming to visit when things are possible.
Especially keeping an eye out for special open days.
What a fantastic series! This TH-cam channel has become an absolute goldmine! 😄
Have you ever considered developing some sort of augmented reality thing for the VCC? Something where someone could stand on the balcony, point their phone at some obscure vehicle, and get a blurb about [obscure, experimental whotsit]?
Or is it one of those things stuck in budget constraint limbo?
It gets shuffled basically any time they want to get a vehicle out of there.
@@Skorpychan wouldn’t be difficult to have some machine learning algorithm to automatically identify a vehicle independent of where it it sitting
Great vid. Thanks for letting us see what’s going on behind the scene
If it was featured in a video with David Fletcher it then deserves to be preserved forever in a museum
David or the tank?
Both
Looking forward to part 2 greatly!
As an Army brat I used to knock around Dad's workshop (Bielefeld R.E.M.E.) in the summer holidays.
Mortified that one day someone would put their head through the fume curtain to gob off, and the lump hammer Dad always seemed to have to hand would sail through the air and mouthy wouldn't get his head out in time!
Used to love the smells and sounds to the point where if I'm in that environment now, it's like coming home.
Hope to come and see you when these lockdown's end.
Excellent! I like the behind the scene videos as well as the vehicle focused videos. I definitely plan to visit after the Covid situation is behind us.
This could be my favourite museum on this planet! :)
VCC is the best ‘display’ on site our favourite building
Love that Chieftain camouflage!
Another great video. The museum itself is as interesting as the exhibits. What's that saying?
“The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Perfect example.
The road for 1 million subscribers
Well established ,well run museum with rich in tank variety both running and stationary
Fascinating. 👍
Thank you.
I would love to come visit one day. Looks awesome! Shame its a multi hour drive away.
Epic place.. I loved it.
Thanks.
Thank you ,
I got the Sherman slippers for Christmas, hope the money is used well!
Tank Park: Aroma Therapy for men.
I love the smell of a steam rally too. It's that mixture of coal and oil mixed with the scent of woodworking and beer tents.
Enough to make any man weak at the knees.
@@bl7355, I know exactly what you mean. The coal-fired steam tractors and engines displayed near to me during a local apple festival are marvelous. The smell, the smoke... takes you back in time. All with a cup of fresh pressed hot cidar. Mmmmm.
I used to visit the tank museum 2 / 3 times a year for about 45 years. I don't go anymore because it feels like a school project museum now. Dump the info board's and bring the vehicles back.
A lot of museums do this now unfortunately. I must admit though, it’s been a long time since I’ve visited.
I fully approve of this video 👍
Looking like the VCC needs an extention, it's packed out. There's plenty of space above for a mezzanine to be added for lighter stuff. Chris van Schaardenburgh: "What lighter stuff is that then?"
Very interesting , one day soon I Shall return.
The Tank Museum's camera guys have got quite good with their one-shots.
So insane all those tanks crammed into that building lol
Friday just got interesting
Saw the panhard ebr, I would love to see a tank chat on it
Show us MORE ... thanks !!
Would love to see the machine shop.
Ah it's nice to see The Challenger again.
This is getting boring! Another brilliant behind the scenes view of the Tank Museum. Thanks and keep it up guys. We have many more month to go before things start returning to normal.
Will there be a video uploaded to look inside the staff rooms for the trenches?
The Tank Museum should follow the Spiffing Brit's poll suggestion to drive views, subs, and thus support up!
As well as cross-training with other experts, does the Museum have a formal knowledge base development process, finding and writing manuals and maintenance guides and such? How do the specialized skills and know-how get preserved and transmitted in the long term?
I wish i could go there.
My favorite tank is the Ha-Go
Hey - Its the Challenger!
Ah yes the good old workshop and VCC.
There sure is a Yes amount of vehicles inside there.
holy lord that shed's full... wow
just remembered I can't wait to see the next Anti-tank chat. :)
I looked at that workshop, and I wondered which Regiment the shop foreman was from.
Facta non verba.
epic
thank you all.
When will you open again
My favorite tank is the T95 but that’s only here in America
Those wheelies in the background.....
Their stock is tanking.
Wish I lived in Europe
Wonder if they will re - furb David Fletcher to continue the Tank Chats , they are priceless as He is also .
Why refurb? I mean, David Fletcher said we're going to watch him in these chats whether we like it or not. :D
@@HanSolo__ I luv watching David Fletcher an he is hilarious , if you watch other chats its straight an flat but Mr Kansai1 thankyou very much an you stay safe so you / me can keep watching Mr Fletch..
love you
At 1:39, what is that tank with with the cloth cover over the mantlet and the curvy hull?
Looks like an early version of the leopard 1
@@Chris-m-m02 I'm not sure, but it looks more like a Swiss Panzer 68 to me, it does have the same gun as the Leopard 1
@@dv7533 ah I see
12 year old me could disappear in that building for a month scampering over those vehicles.
48 year old me would too!
@@timsmith4548 58 year old me too. Though I'd probably need to bring a little set of steps, my knees are not what they used to be :-(
9:42 I wonder what the hell those jacks could be useful for under tanks that size
Often the entire tank doesn't need to be jacked up, but only a small part of the running gear, so that a roadwheel can be changed. Just one example.
@@kirkmooneyham ah right silly me
Ok. How much it cost to play here. Let’s say for a week.
Oh just to play with just one tank
TOOOOOOOG II
Please also upload to bichute/rumble and or others as we are leaving yt.
Isn't that a dream job?
Want to look at 3d printers for making new parts.
Im not a religious person but if there is a god this would be the paradise
3:05 oh god EBR is here too ruining the matchmaker
Good thing this one has removed ammuntion...
The EBR is a danger to low flying aircraft
Sick masks
6:04 thats one sexy looking StuG :)
This what you want to see when you visit the Museum, not the near empty rooms, with 5 tanks and 100 boards, telling you it's a tank, it has an engine, it was from WW2, zzzzzzzzz. I visit to see vehicles!!! Museum is great but If you are interested enough to visit a Tank Museum, you really do want to see them. Internet/books provide the info. This is why I visit every 5-6 years rather than every year
Yeah, modern museums all have an unfortunate tendency of only displaying a small fraction of their exhibits. Take the Imperial War Museum for example, that used to be great with lots of stuff but it was ruined by a modern "refurbishment". We want stuff, not hundreds of display boards in badly lit rooms.
@@JohnyG29 Quite. IWM has lost a complete floor to the holocaust exhibition. The Holocaust definitely needs commemoration, but I'm not sure that the IWM is the right place for it - or indeed the right context.
I concur. Or just look only, if you touch a vehicle, some security guard appears to tell you to step away.
One of those tanks...is scared of all the others
:)
Wg looking for new opportunities to find rare tanks . Didn't wargaming lose a law suit in the us this week
I hope so. They been robbing the players for years.
Their crane system in the workshop is Made in Germany. lol
Why an "lol"? Germany needed to sell it, Tank Museum helped out and paid for it.
But now YOU have raised the topic of things made in Germany, I think you'll find, there are a lot of exhibits in The Bovington Museum that were also made, in Germany, involving, at times, slave labour(?), while the rancid, one testicle, Little Corporal was Boss,1933 to 1945.. The Germans did not want to sell them to the Brits, in fact fought and died to keep them, in vain, so our Tank Museum now has them. I think that calls for a bit of ROTFTIC or at least a LOL**, don't you agree Mister Schmidt, my Old Sausage ?
yeet
Never allow French visitors in there. The hurricane caused by the waving of white flags would collapse the building.
@Hannibal Barca it was just a silly joke my friend.
Ha, ha!!
4th
Just curious. How many folks here only care about the WWII stuff?
All periods for me
I 'care' about all periods all nations. WW1 and inter war British a passion, and thinking as I type, all British up to Challenger 2. The pace of evolution across the major combatants during WW2, also interests.
Why can’t the NRA and RAF Museums be run like this ?
Duh NRM even!
Now I know where I’m going to hide when ww3 happens
Fire the fv4005
Its like a homeless shelter for outdated and unwanted tanks. So instead of tramps its Tranks?
They aren't homeless! They live there!
@@Skorpychan a Nursing home! What was I thinking of? Old tanks of course a Museum is a nursing home for old armour.
Great preservation of historic afvs. How about starting a donation fund for poor families, especially the children. I know things are hard for the tank museum but times are harder for poor kids. Britain has suffered more than 100,000 deaths in the fight against covid. That's nearly half the deaths of UK citizens in WW2. Let's show the same community spirit now in these dark and challenging times. We must move forward, together.
Point of Fact: UK, deaths from Covid-19, at 100,000 are still below a quarter of total deaths of UK citizens in WW2, at around 454,000. You are being a bit wild and loose claiming 103,000 + (29 Jan 21) is nearly half of 454,000.
Point of Fact: Raising money for 'poor kids' is not what The Tank Museum is there for. See, Tank Museum Limited at the UK Charity Commission website.
There is of course nothing preventing you from donating your money to, or raising money for 'poor kids' or supporting and promoting one or more, of the many charities that are set up for that purpose.
@@books742 point of fact: cerca 460,000 British citizens and subjects died in WW2. Cerca 250,000 of which were UK citizens, the other 210,000 were British subjects. Next?
@@books742 you have no idea of my involvement or not with poor people.
@@timkbirchico8542 Because the "word" citizen is so commonly used when more correctly the word "subject" should be used I went with the flow and used citizen when "subject" would have been more proper. In British law prior to 1 Jan 1949 almost everyone with a close association to the UK was a "subject". A "subject" being a person who is subjected to the rule and protection of the reigning monarch.
So it would have been better if in my reply I had used "UK subjects." To be a 'legal' UK Citizen you have first have also to be a British Subject, so what point are you trying to make? c 460,000 'British dead' is the correct figure, irrespective of using the term "subject ","citizens" or both or anything else.
@@timkbirchico8542 In this respect you are totally correct, I have no idea. Likewise you had until, just, of mine. Which is in two words, is , "substantial involvement" beyond that which being a normal average "good" Brit would entail.

Do not buy anything from them unless you want to pay and never receive it. Going on 6 months now.
I got what I ordered from them in under a week. Have you got in contact with them? I am sure they'd sort it out if they could because otherwise it would be bad for business.
