robin craig Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I am fairly sure that despite the anonymous forum name that it is Andrew Baker's Challenger. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiketheBike Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I am fairly sure that despite the anonymous forum name that it is Andrew Baker's Challenger. Robin robin, i think ink you may be right, and was probably what m109a3uk was getting at with tanks trucks and firepower coming up. Great show and I am looking forward to it even though it's a 100 mile+ drive each way in the ferret 😁 Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flywheel Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I am fairly sure that despite the anonymous forum name that it is Andrew Baker's Challenger. Robin Definitely Mr Bakers, saw it last year at Tanks Trucks and Firepower. I hope he has it running this year. The show is well worth the visit.

Norbo Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 Yes of course its Andys . my son and i poped in to see him and what a nice guy he was. very helpful and know his stuff my son and i were just breathless at the size of this tank . frankly i didn't think it was real when we first walked in i really thought it was a GAG tank made of wood just be ridiculousness massive for his show . you just cant beleave how masive it really is it would cover 3 lanes on the motorway . you couldn't drive it on duel carriage way i think its to wide unless it was in the verge on both sides . and he said it has a 3 mile range holly crap . the motor was out and thats as big as the back of a transit van all on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Sorry to disappoint but Andy's tank is a Challenger 1 which is 11'6" wide, a standard UK motorway lane is 12', which can reduce to 10" without notification and less than that with notification (signage on the motorway). It's actually narrower than a Chieftain. And what's the "3 mile range" mean? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flywheel Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's actually narrower than a Chieftain. And what's the "3 mile range" mean? Andy I still like it, unfortunately it doesn't matter what size it is it still won't fit on my drive and I'm sure I would get complaints from my neighbours :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRDM Driver Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's actually narrower than a Chieftain. And what's the "3 mile range" mean? Andy Maybe he meant 3 miles range of the gun! (2.9 miles confirmed kill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
