The Cavalry Corps of the Irish Defence Forces celebrated its centenary on 14th Sept 2022 with a parade of its historic vehicle collection. Many of these armoured vehicles are unique
Hi Chieftain No the MTV with the 30mm turret-mounted cannon wasn't there. Six are in service but so far have never been deployed outside Ireland as far as I know. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you Paul. I understand the Comet restoration is continuing and it was recently re-painted. I should add that the Cavalry Corps takes great care when operating complex tracked vehicles on the road in case any mechanical fault should cause an accident. Therefore I expect the Comet will only appear in public when it's fully restored and in perfect mechanical order.
@@karlmartin2698 many thanks for rhe update. Looking forward to see the Comet in the future. Lucky to gave such a fine example of the finest Brirish Tank of WW2 running in this country. Keep safe
@@trpsarge Yes, I always think a Comet (and the Centurion) look like 'proper' tanks! Awful pity the Comet didn't see action earlier in WWII as it would have saved the lives of a lot of British tank crews.
The Churchill is unlikely to run as parts etc would be very difficult to find and very expensive anyway. There is a Comet under restoration in the Curragh Camp and hopefully it will be a 'runner' in 2023.
@@karlmartin2698 Ah shame really I would have loved to see the Churchill but is understandable and the comet now I can't wait to see that are you gonna film it when it's restored?
