  • @h0lx
    Yay! Mr Fletcher talking about tanks always brightens my day
  • @joebudde3302
    What a great way to start the day, woke up then opened my laptop and a new Tank Chat pops up as I look at my mail, thank you Mr. Fletcher and crew.

    What a way to go... falling out of a plane, into the ocean, inside a tank.
  • @tando6266
    His description of how to drift a tetrarch @2:37 is why I am here.
  • @JJswe93
    ''...for our benefit i suspect.'' Love Fletcher
  • @rubenskiii
    Saw this video, added 4 minutes ago. Watching now. Full trust in David Fletcher.
  • I love the line "they were heavily bombed while they were producing it so production was rather slow". Boy does that have a double meaning. Lol
  • @stephen9869
    No clickbait on this channel, does exactly what it says on the tin. Thanks Mr Fletcher!
  • What a horrible end for the Tetrach crew that fell into the Channel. I'd never heard of that until today. Another entertaining video, in your inimitable and engaging presentational style, Mr Fletcher.
  • @Chaos8282
    You need to do a lengthy documentary on that epic lip cover. The armor and protection it provides the upper lip, the excellent filtration it gives to the air circulation system, and the sheer damage it did to the strange early in it's career.
  • @skipper4126
    No one doubts Mr. Fletchers intelligence or his sentience but is he aware of profound and epic his moustache is?
  • @SirDaffyD
    "I made a pigs ear of it as usual". LOL. Keep the great tank reviews coming Mr Fletcher.
  • @pkm762
    When used operationally only 1 out of 6 (16%) ended in the bottom of english channel with the entire crew! Amazing to see these first landfall tanks were reality in ww2!
  • @Grundag
    Tanks are as dangerous to the crews as they are to the enemy. Part of their charm. Tank Museum and Mr. Fletcher, a Good start to any Friday!
