Lincolnshire Police at their typical best. . . Oh what about Health and Safety ? . . . This was a Remembrance Day Parade for Christ Sakes. A one off . . A very special occasion. . . . Be ashamed
I hereby vouch that the next bit of machinery that I buy for my mine here in Canada, will be JCB. That's my way of saying "thank you!" Thanks to all involved in this project ... except for the folks that stopped it being in the parade at Lincoln. My god, have you never heard of engineering and hazard mitigation? Whatever your concerns were, they could have been allayed. Twats!
My Grandad was an Ozzy and fought in Ypres. He always said it was Berries. In Australia we have been giving it heaps of herbs since the internal combustion engine was put in vehicles.
My Granddad while in hospital recovering from ingury. The whole of the Lincolnshire regiment where killed in WW 1 . He was left thought to be dead for 9 days in a shell hole. 3 German prisoners found him made a stretcher with a coat and to posts carried him to the UK hispital tent. Saving his life. And my father was born after the war. He never forgot what these Germans did for him. When he died he still had about 12 metal shrapnel parts in his body. He many times cut shrapnel out from under his skin that had moved towards the skin surface.
Incredible. First time watching this. What a tribute. I’m American and have a deep love of British history. My grandfather actually served in France in WWI. He was already in his 70’s when I came around but I do remember some conversations when he talked about being amazed at British technology at the time. That little island nation never ceases to amaze me with what it can do. I proudly own a Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR and also a vintage Bonny in my motorcycle collection. The torque on my Triple will snap your fu-ing arms off. It sounds like no bike you’ve ever heard. Cheers!
Trust the police to throw a spanner in the works. That's about all they can do. But taking the tank to the original battlefield was very respectful. Great idea.
Well they certainly cannot stop knife crime or investigate burglary or car theft. They are however bloody good at catching people driving slightly above the speed limit. I believe money is involved in catching the last mentioned criminals though.
The welding was cool at jcb, I used to weld window washer hooks for high rises always had to pay attention especially since they were all magniflux tested.
Poor JCB, they spent a fortune building that tank. 75% of that show should have been about building that tank instead of the minutes they received....a massive effort. WWI was such a waste of humanity, 1800's top of soldier warfare intersecting with efficient, lethal technology. Watch the movie "And they shall live forever"
To Quote someone we know This is headshaking " Marvelous " , " Unbelievable " , Can you Believe that " . can't wait till I get to the gun building part .
Just look at the photo of period tank crew, shorts, cut knee, thigh, grubby hands, mud, these jokers were heavy workers in a confined and dangerous space. Their faces tired, though trying to look staunch. Duty calls first.
IT IS GREAT JOB !!! 100YEARS AGO TANK WAS BORN TO BREAK THROUGH TRENCH WAR SITUATION ALSO TO SAVE SO MANY LIVES .... I UNDERSTAND GERMANY SOLDIERS FEELING WHEN THEY SEE THE TANK FOR THE FIRST TIME. 32 YEARS LATER SO MANY SOUTH KOREAN SOLDIER FACED SOVIET T-34 TANK ON BATTLEFIELD. THEY ATTACK TANK WITH GRENADE BUT TANK WAS SO STRONG. PEACE NEVER MAKE BY MOUTH OR PAPER. WHERE DO TANK TAKE PLACE IN ENGLAND NOW ?
Bovington. UK. Home of the tank. Origin of the Tank. It is The Tank Museum. It tells the story of the tanks of the past. Buy modern tanks make T34 look like wusses. Also, the weakness of the tank is it's poor vision. You can sneak up on them easy. Just. Don't stand in front. Big guns and machine guns are designed to do a lot of damage.
it more about remembering those who served in the tank ,the history of the tank and the people who made it possible. its not so much about the build more the reason why they did the build
