Another video (there will be more) from 'The Tank Museum' at Bovington. Why they changed the name is beyond me. I'd like to meet the branding guru who came up with that idea and administer several hard slaps. It's like changing 'Wimbledon' to 'The Tennis Competition'.
Anyway, here, in its particular shade of beige, is the tank (with a brief shot of one of its cousins), and I ramble on about various bits of it. It's all right for you - you just have to watch it once, but I had to edit this, which involves seeing each bit several times, and wading through all the footage of me droning on and on.
I use the word 'burn' to describe a H.E.A.T. round's penetrating a tank, and as several people have pointed out, this is not technically the correct word. They are right, although the word is often used in this context, and the temperatures involved are very high, but yes, I admit it: I should not have used the word 'burn'.
Yes, I am aware that the links on the end plate come in late. This is because YouTube has changed the system, which used to be flexible, to one that relies on limited templates. It doesn't enable the user to put picture links in except in the last twenty seconds of a video, and so because I added a little shot at the end, the links all start late. Possibly the new system is supposed to be more idiot-resistant than the old one. Unfortunately, this makes it an obstacle for the intelligent.

And here's a link to the video I presented for them listing my five favourite AFVs: • Lindybeige | Top 5 Tanks | The Tank M...

Some say Lindy has never left that tank museum.
-
He's still in that museum? Someone get that poor man out of there before he starves!
-
"What if Tom hanks comes along with a Tommy gun and shoots the tank?" I have lived with this fear all my life...
-
Always be prepared for Tom Hanks
-
Day: 78 Lindybeige now records and uploads in the tank museum. He gives tours in if people pay him camera batteries
-
to be honest, you could upload a 5hour video of you just running around in the tank museum unedited and most of us viewers would still listen/watch it.
-
Fun fact the mg34 in tanks was never replaced by the mg42 because the mg34 had a barrel that could be changed easily while sitting in the tank and the mg42 not.
-
“HEY! ..WHO STOLE MY THIRD MG GOD DAMMIT!?” other Panzer crew trying to hold in laughter
-
When it comes to Panzers, there's no such thing as "too much knowledge"
-
"More than you want to know about the Panzer III" Lol, try me.
-
Big room of German tank designers One raises hand "Yes...?" "But what about Tom Hanks...?" Man looks into camera
-
"Hatches are typically weak point on a tank" - T-34: laughs histerically
-
you and your honest titles, is this reverse clickbait?
-
German armour decision high command - "wait, what if Tom hanks comes along and pokes his Thomson into the drivers sight?"
-
I was there the day the new owner first opened the door to the museum and peered inside after buying it in an auction. Lindy was already in there talking to imaginary people explaining how the doohickeys worked and how they killed people better.
-
The ballistic glass in the vision slits were removable. This was so if they were hit and cracked, impeding vision, they could be replaced... there were spares in the tank. It is not impossible to imagine running out of glass and having an open slit.
-
"i have to cut it short" wonder how much more information lindy had on the subject.
-
[Desire to know more intensifies]
-
