Nick Johns Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I does go on a bit, same vehicles round and round again ! I did not think it deserved such a negative comment, I thought it may be of interest to genuine enthusiasts, If its that boring I will remove it, what does everyone else think?

Degsy Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I enjoyed it, thanks Nick, but in all fairness it was a little repetitive but at least the vehicles were seen from lots of different angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B. Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Given the choice of watching it or not being aware of it at all,I'm glad I watched it. Thank you Nick for drawing it to my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Ashby Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Thanks Nick for putting it up, there are not many places where you can see that much WW11 armour on the move these days. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmac Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 In the past they have been let out and done a circuit of the town. I wonder what is up with the Sherman Firefly this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antar Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Sorry I didn't mean to offend, it was purely an observation on my part. Had it been your video I would not have passed comment, but for what appears to be a semi official video it could have been edited down a little. I actually skipped the last few minutes due to it being repetative only to go back again this morning and find the best bit at the end where they are being maneuvered into the building.

ferretfixer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Nice to see all that WWII Armour, actually on the move. Can anyone explain why the Belgian Army Staff, are so elderly & Have BEARDS ? Is it possibly because the Belgian armed forces are conscripts. & retention of experienced Instructors is upheld by extension of Service Personnel who are Volunteers? Not decrying what they do, just interested from a Professional Point of View. You are Not allowed Beards in most Professional Armies. Due to an NBC Respirator not being able to seal around your face when needed in a Toxic Chemical Environment. The exception to this rule is. a Pioneer Sergeant as a Traditional Sign of his Rank & Position Held. (Beard would be shaved off in a combat environment for real) & if you were excused Shaving for Medical reasons (Temporary). Makes sense to Me. & of course. LOOKS More military & smart with no Beard. Just my own thoughts!.......:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 We were invited in the workshops a few years back when they weren't open to the public yet. Great when they started a WW2 Brit tankengine on a test stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
