Hey guys. I apologize for the huge delay in this. But uni had to come first This video is of Niels OT-90 and what I got filmed during W&P last year. I hope you enjoy it! John.

Hey guys, Our Sherman restoration has hit another snag. We took a look at the air cleaners we took out of our M4A4 last week and found them full of holes and basically beyond use. If anybody knows of a set (Left and right handed internally mounted ones specifically for M4A4) please let me know John.

Just wishing all of you going to War and Peace a safe journey! We are leaving tonight for the ferry and can't wait to get back to the show (after missing the previous 6 years.. but girlfriend liked London a lot) All the best chaps! Hope to see you guys in person and swap some chat and a beer maybe!

I would kill for a T-55. I am not too upset at seeing a burnt our Saracen mind you

Thanks Adrain! I woke up to hearing him doing his "Have you got?" with a few people and a couple of "You still have!" as well! I know our Gyro was non-existent. As you can guess it was full of holes or was part of the 6 inches of "rust" lining the bottom of the hull. I am just very curious as I have never seen a working example. I'll probably never find everything but I can always try! I hope to see you at Beltring Adrian and get a chat with you once my dad has had his chat (Yes there is a pecking order)

Hey guys. We have ran in to a bit of a brick wall with our restoration. We are installing a hydraulic traverse system but we are missing the oil tank. From what my dad has told me it is a rather specific part with pressure release valves and such fitted to it. If anybody knows where we could get our hands on one of these we would love to hear from you! And as a bit of a personal project I am looking up information on the Gyro stab system. I am sure Adrian can help me with this as I am wondering if the M4A4 had the stab fitted and if so how complex the system is. I am fairly certain that the parts are pretty much impossible to get so it's more of a curiosity to see just in the off chance I could get my hands on one. Hope to see many of you at War and peace! I am pretty much geared up to get filming! John.

I will do! Thanks Looking forward to it! Time to brush up on my research.

I think it might be safer then if I don't ask John

I will do. Thanks for the offer

Hey guys. I have been quiet for a while due to University but now that's all wrapped up i'm back to hopefully get some confirmations from the vast amount of interest I have had for expanding the Armour World youtube channel! What do I need from you? Firstly stick a reply to this thread, stating what vehicle you are willing to let me film, also if you are willing to appear on camera for a brief interview. Finally if you can send me a Private message with a way to contact you while I am on-site so I can arrange a day and time to get filming. The basic idea is to try and get as much footage of your vehicles moving around so there will be a day where I will try to get as many of you guys to let me take a run on your vehicle to get some nice shots of it going its thing! Then other footage shot during the rest of the week where interviews and close up footage of the vehicles will be done. This is however just a plan.. and we all know how plans turn out! Again thank you so much for everybodies interest! I am really excited to get started and meet you guys! John Lyons.

I was there about 5 years ago. They didn't have the KT on display though as they were preping it for a parade. Some fantastic examples in thier collection thats for sure! And well worth the treck to go have a look. John.

@John, I will be trying my best to get you all at Beltring this year. I will be there for the full week and by the looks of it I will have a lot of work to do Im certainly not complaining as it'll keep my eyes off the shiney stalls, full of wonders that i will buy and never use.

You would think they wouldn't mind watching tracked armour rumbling past. But each to their own eh?

I will be sure to grab contact details off anybody I am planning to meet up with down there. Save me a few miles of walking trying to find guys

To Adrain. Thats our baby right there. I belive she was on the same range as Adrians. Mostly small arms and mortar strikes. And heck yes I will be at W&P! I hope to do the bulk of my filming there. A bit on our sherman to put her in perspective to that pic above. All suspension units have been replaced, final drive was removed, checked and reassembled, all internals were pretty much useless except the heavier stuff such as turret ring and gun mechanisim. Although the gun itself was totally butchered by the people who deactivated it. A new rear left engine bay door was made along with about 30% of the top engine bay armour as it had recieved a serious hit to the engine, we got nothing useful from the Multibank engine as it was all reduced to scrap. The gunners periscope mount has been cut out and replaced with one from another turret too. So it has been quite extensive! The turret is now undergoing welding and blasting. I will add pics when ever I get home to have a look.
