andym Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Brilliant! I see that US journalists aren't any more accurate than the ones in the UK when it comes to "tank". Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I couldn't see the video but good for you ;-) I like the fact that you are going to learn how to restore vehicles like this. That's what will help keep the history alive Do you have piccies you can post up here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Dear Lee You did well to get across your view point and not have it skewed or twisted and put on the news. I'm thinking that you have some family help with that! Nice artwork / drawings you do. Hope you have a manual for the OT90! Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A couple of years back the RTR (Royal Tank Regiment) Took a couple of CVR(T) over to Jersey as the new Lt Govenor had been Colnel of the Regiment. Most answered question 'No it's not a tank it's a reconnassince vehicle'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Brilliant! I see that US journalists aren't any more accurate than the ones in the UK when it comes to "tank". Andy I remember once seeing a set of photos purporting to show how great the US Armed Forces (I hate hearing people using the adjective "military" as a noun) were at shooting up Soviet kit in Afghanistan. The series was entitled "US jets destroy BMP" or somesuch. I spent some time picking holes in the article that went with the photos before I noticed that the "BMP" had wheels. Still that was poor journalism. I remember a Household Cavalryman (cannot remember whether it was pre-Granby or pre-Telic) was hosting a bunch of US airmen around the unit to familiarise themselves with CVR(T)s (maybe on reflection it was Telic, to avoid what happened on Granby). Imagine how the cavalryman felt when a pilot chipped in, "Gee you guys drive BMPs?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAFMT Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 What's the modern saying? "Haters gonna hate"? I have to admit, I was more than a little jealous of you, but thats no reason to be negative. Good luck with the restoration classes. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It was an investment for me to hopefully start a career in restoration. I'm starting an intensive school for that across the country in Sept. Excellent - its good to see more girls getting into all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
