    "Was actually coined by, whatsisname, uhh.....Field Marshal Montgomery" 😂 love this man
  • @jimfrodsham7938
    David's right about the conqueror being noisy, you could hear them coming down the Tank Rd in Osnabrück for miles, the whole road shook as they passed. We kids loved them and often cycled down to the Tank Park in Dodesheide just to watch them.

    A thirty-nine minute tank chat hosted by Mr. Fletcher? Yes please! Sign me up!
  • @revan22
    The FV4005 really looks like a comically upgunned KV2.
  • That's my dad at 30:50 (Bottom, far right) "Jim" he served out in West Germany. He always had lots of stories to tell about his time with the biggest tank in the world!

    Doesn't matter if I've seen these again. I just like listening to Fletcher talk about tanks.

    We have a conqueror at the Gunfire museum in Brasschaat Belgium. I did a short video on it a couple of years ago. If ok with the tank museum YT channel manager (reply to this post), I'll post a link in the comment - not looking for free publicity. It's the biggest tank we have in the museum and I love it because it's just so massive.

    Mr. Fletcher is a gem to listen to. Throughly enjoyed this
  • Tank Santa has blessed us with an early Christmas gift I see. Glad to see David again.
  • @alamore5084
    That was a 40 minute treat with David Fletcher. Loved this. I was not familiar with Conquerer at all before this video. It reminds me a bit of the M48 Patton. Long overdue a visit to Bovington!
  • @dingodoctor7373
    Good to hear David Fletcher again, he has a wealth of information and anecdotes on tanks.
  • @TheSpritz0
    That FIRST tank would be dangerous against Naval Vessels cruising too close to shore!!🤪
  • @ABrit-bt6ce
    I thought for a moment you had Mr Fletcher back on the team. This is a treat nevertheless.
  • @nickmail7604
    Always a pleasure to see the master discussing tanks!

    The 6th man in the TOG2 was responsible for managing the internal pub and making the tea and biscuits.
