0:38, Do you know the scoop about the damaged Sherman on the trailer? Will it be completely restored, or simply preserved as is? Or is it actually in operating condition? Every video I've seen of the 80th DDay Anniversary; it's on that trailer and being towed along.
According to my brother (he was at A&E) the Sherman on the trailer has a fibre glass turret. It will probaly be restored in running condition. It is now a empte shell with a peppered left side. Not sure if a original turet will be placed on top of it.
@@teyvehiclerestorations4878 Thanks for letting me know where it was. The sound level was extremely low to start with, even with my headphones turned way up when you were talking. Also, to my Canadian ears the narrator's accent makes it very difficult to understand. Closed captioning was confused by it too, and did not give intelligible words. Some simple white captions under the picture, like "Armour and Embarkation Rally, Dorset England" would have really helped. Captions of the vehicle types would be useful too. With the amphib vehicle in the water I think it may have been a DUKW but with no side or front pic, how would we know? Thanks.
looks like it was huge fun. I've been watching this event from afar for a long time and would love to see it in person some time. So many familiar faces there too!
One of 20 vehicles which came into the uk in 1994 via pounds of portsmouth after being surplussed as training vehicles by portugal...the portuguese demilatarized them by torching off the barrel and chucking it in the hull....price to the uk public in 1994 was £4,000 each and they all quickly vanished into collections to resurface on the reenactor and movie scene repainted as ww2 us army sherman tanks,but the cdp tracks give away its canadian origins....still cheaper than a proper us built sherman.
I may have never watched this video except for that initial image, the rear end of a Hetzer. As a former 38T Jagdpanzer owner., you are missing the Luftschieber. (Sliding cover for the radiator exhaust.)
At :31 you're in the TC's position, and your camera person is in the loader's spot. Otherwise, nice job! Some differences between US and British crews in jobs and fire commands, but again, well done.
Thank you for the feedback ❤ we got are words a little muddled up about what position we were in. Very true about the fire orders every crew was different aswell
lots of lovely displays. didn't look like many spectators they must have been in the inflatable pub LOL. I really like the lady with all the prams and the various tractors.
super collection of vehicles including a very familiar Stuart tank, the aptly named "Destroyer". If it weren't 3000 miles away I'd definitely want to go to that show
