Default Mantling

Nothing a good body man couldn't fix up in a few hours...as our friend Angus is known to say.

Looks like something primeval, with the two claws pick at the bones.

Cheers Phil

Default Armour an Embarkation

Hi Scott

Now that is quite the video. Does any body know the vehicle count and the distanced traveled?

This one is definitely going in the next issue of our Clubs Newsletter.

Cheers Phil

Default Tank restoration

Interesting programs, I watched the first two (so far) and enjoyed them apart from the way they vision and sound are constantly hyped. There is, at least in the Sherman one a huge amount of footage that is just padding and can easily be skimmed past to get to the interesting bits. The other thing which was a little disappointing was you don't see the completion of either project. I'd be interested to hear what others think. These programs would have had huge production budgets.
One thing I found very interesting was the different approach between the US and British restorers, I thought Dave was fantastic with his comment about "You pain in the arse camera people".

I loved this series

The restorations take so long they couldn't film a whole one. We're still working on the Centurion today, and filming took place in 2008.

Default P38 Lightning - good video

Hi Scott

Good find.

Above average quality video and commentary on the first half, with the second half being an interesting mix of vintage footage and modern reenactment footage to tell the story of missions.


Worth the watch.

Cheers Phil
