This is frankly, unbelievable. To make a WW1 tank in 5 months, operational and to scale with historical accuracy just blows my mind. Total respect and honor to those who fought and gave the ultimate sacrafice. Seriously, what a fantastic project to achieve by those who made Deborah II. May she fly the colors forever. Cheers
Got any tales to share of his overall experience I promise I'm not looking for any blood guts and gore stories just anything he might have shared with his loved ones. No pressure to respond
This rules. The appreciation of 20th century British engineering, the history, the passion that these people have to transform some raw materials into a whole tank It’s impressive, educational, but also entertaining. Timeline always has some excellent documentaries 😎
H.G. Wells, in his short story The Land Ironclads, published in The Strand Magazine in December 1903, had described the use of large, armed, armoured cross-country vehicles equipped with pedrail wheels (an invention which he acknowledged as the source for his inspiration), to break through a system of fortified trenches, disrupting the defence and clearing the way for an infantry advance.
Very emotional for me. I think of all those who lost their lives too soon. Amazing work you've all done. Such talented people, who honored all those that sacrificed so long ago.
...& Lo & Behold, there's one of the tank crew's grandsons, standing there talking about his grandfather, absolutely amazing, the connection, that is!👍🇺🇸😃
Imagine being a German Private in your trench seeing one of these beasts groan and rumble toward you, it must of been absolutely terrifying to see for the first time.
My hat's off to you men who pulled off something that is so acutely redone to ogrinal specs wonderful way to honor those who served and especially to those who gave all to keep other's free. As I've always said freedom is not free
I remember my grandfather telling me that his friend that fought back in World War I said the men that were lost, will never be forgotten and their bones will rise up from the ground in the trees along the fields. I wonder how accurate that is.
I have a question….. did the gov just loose the designs? Because I feel like these tanks are outdated by long enough that it shouldn’t be a secret anymore.

I wonder how quickly the tanks from WW1 were made with mass production of the time?
0:57 I remember those Haynes motorcycle manuals. They gave you just enough information to scrwew things up.
A woonderful way to honor the men who sacrificed their lives in this horrible war.
Lest we forget
What an astonishing achievement.
These guys have created a most honouring monument to the fallen.
Very well done my great grandfather served in the great War ww1

Thank you (time line) channel for sharing this wonderful introduction of the first tank in history during WW1..
WOW I loved them Building a Tank from Scratch !
Videos like these make me proud to beva subscribers such respect four our shared past from no matter where in the world we are
Is Guy Martins just the best presenter?
A brilliant engineering project and a brilliant doco.

I really dig these videos with the sideburns dude and JCB
Thank you very for this amazing story. Both of my Granda’s fought in WW1 and survived somehow just not tank’s.
All the best from NZ❤

...& the physist modeler from Germany, amazing!😮🇺🇸
I enjoy all of Guy Martins BBC shows i can find on TH-cam. Great guy.
What blows me away the most was how he scored that engine block for only $100 pound lol that is a steal

Glad you brought back a tank that started it all very fitting that tribute to those families who lost those that were in them . Well done.
F#*k yeah. Well done and congratulations to everyone involved, for pulling off an awesome project. 👏
Fantastic. 😊

You hear that everyone, tanks helped us save lives!
hilarious how they say making a weapon saves lives
...but it did, by shortening the war; otherwise, without the tank, the TRENCH WARFARE would've continued on & perhaps for years
This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve seen all year
Among us motorcycle riders, Guy Martin is our Wayne Gretzky
Without bue prints, this task would have been impossible.
I have a question….. did the gov just loose the designs? Because I feel like these tanks are outdated by long enough that it shouldn’t be a secret anymore.
Sweet
TempleOS
Would have been more impressive if he built one using the methods of back then lol
🦝
Decent show, but I just can't stand Guy Martin.
Jesus Christ is Lord 🙏✝️
It would be nice to meet him
Absolutely false
Jesus Christ doesn’t stop tanks.
Where was He for the men in those trenches? 🤔🇦🇺
@@Hipporider where was everybody else when he was getting crucified?
I hope no liberal would say make that tank as a transsexual tank. In my opinion, make that tank as a tough blood thirsty, brave, man soldier tank.
