The Tank Lord has returned. All Hail his mighty mustache.!!!
-
I nearly fell over. Tank Chats with David Fletcher is back! The world is righting itself!
-
Really happy to see Mr. Fletcher again. Really missed him and his knowledge- humour. And that with the Saladin; build the Tamiya model and really loved it!
-
We still have Saladins and Saracens in full running order here in Indonesia used by reserve army units 🙈
-
So sad to hear David is no longer making videos, and i can't see how he can be replaced to be completely honest, as he has a wonderful way he presents and his knowledge is top shelf and mixed with his unique humour makes for one of my favourite youtube presenters of any genre! ....I know he may not be interested in the idea, but he would be a great podcaster on the subject of Tanks !!

2nd royal tank regiment on exercise crescent moon .circa 1960. I drove a Saladin from the coast of lybya south to the border with Chad to the Tibesti mountains. And back again. A long hot journey.It performed very well. I still have some old black and white photos of that journey. The Saladin Saracen and ferret's did their job in the lybyian desert. Plug the kettle in under the commanders seat and make the tea.

Heaven forbid if anything happened to David Fletcher a statue should be erected in the tank museum. YouTube + David Fletcher = the man that's brought tanks to the masses

"they said it could drive on any four wheels after blowing any two off, and that's not true. you had to choose which two you got blown off" words to live by.

One of my most vivid memories of the footage coming out of Kuwait during the invasion was that of a Kuwaiti Saladin valiantly battling Iraqi forces, it's main gun firing and turret swinging to engage targets in the city center. Though I don't know the fate of the vehicle or its crew, it seemed to me, at the time, to be symbolic of the spirit of the Kuwaiti people...............................

Dear Tank Museum: Please make sure the Davids know how glad we are for their continued service. Mr. Fletcher in particular has a regular cheering section on every new video.

Well that makes me feel old! I worked on the Saracen, the Armoured Personnel Carrier variant back in the '70s. I guess I'm a museum piece too now ... or so my grandkids tell me.💀💀💀
-
MR. FLETCHER, the true treasure of the Tankmuseum! Forget the last running Tiger 1, just a ordinary prop compared to this Sir. Best wishes Mr Fletcher, stay healthy!

My car has a rear driver when my mother in law is in the back seat.
-
He explain. He expand. but most importantly The moustache is back!
-
I'm not even kidding when I say that my girlfriend and I just discussed visiting the UK (a destination we've never much entertained for a vacation) explicitly to visit the Tank Museum and possibly meet Mr. Fletcher. This man is just such a glorious mix of knowledge and sincere dry wit that it's a small wonder that he's so loved for his tank chats. David Fletcher: Making tanks and museums as awesome as they should be.
-
David Fletcher -- the Man, the Legend, accept no substitute. Welcome back David!!
-
Great to see the man back, awesome as always.

Two dislikes are from Richard The Lionheart.

I wonder how many other boys had a Dinky Toy Saladin in the '50s. It looked just right and was beautiful to this ten year old. I'm very happy to see you back, David.

I recently visited The Tank Museum, and it was a dream come true. Glad to support the Tank Museum, and i hope to visit again soon.
