PDonovan Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Best vehicle I ever owned... Best video clips from purchase... in early 1993.. from Jacksons of Doncaster... to its departure in 1995. Video from Doncaster, Hartlebury,Evesham,Bromsgrove and Kidderminster. Mainly me driving but also good friend Simon Blackburn. Something went wrong...

merlin Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Like the Abbot but can`t think why you have not got somebody in the commanders hatch on the intercom. It is impossible to see what is behind or even to the side of a vehicle such as this. Surprised that the fuzz did not give you a pull.:shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankie88 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I agree.Naughty,naughty always have a commander with intercom when on the road.If you hit something the Commander is always the guy who takes the rap.The same with a banksman who guiding you.Oh,and it's not a tank.Now Chieftain like used to drive for a living....is a tank.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes good sense to have a commander up top watching for the behaviour of other drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 No. Unlike the Army, in civilian use the driver is solely responsible for the vehicle, whether or not there is a Commander present. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDonovan Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Indeed.... As far as the comments regarding the drivers view.... its no different to driving a large van. However I did have another person in the turret whenever possible. In the three years I owned it the police never took any interest !!
