BRDM Driver Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Did anyone catch the Sherman rolling down the hill in the arena backwards into a Stuart! It all happened very slowly with everyone in the crowd holding their breath waiting for the impact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yes - but unfortunately there is no room in an OT for a camera as well as the driver!! Could have been worse - I think both seemed to get of lightly - for a relative value of "lightly" given the vehicles involved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Did anyone catch the Sherman rolling down the hill in the arena backwards into a Stuart! It all happened very slowly with everyone in the crowd holding their breath waiting for the impact! I was in the arena when it happened I cannot understand why the stuart driver did not reverse when the sherman started to role back! any way you should keep a safe distance, you only enter a knife edge when the knife edge is clear a lesson learnt by the stuart driver Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi Neil I would like to say a very big thank you from all the arena team for allowing us to use your vehicle over the week :saluting::thanx: No worries sir - it was the best (and only) way I could think of to say "Thank you" to you all for your hard work in providing our enjoyment!!! Quick question - if you can assist - one of the marshals spoke to me as I was leaving one night about the possibility of of the OT being used for film/TV work as such activities were a part of his business. No idea as to name, I just recall a pair of mirrored sun glasses - any idea who it might have been?? I never had the chance to get back to him with my contact details....
