Robbie Rotten T72s have a reputation of losing turrets due to ammo being stowed pretty much anywhere, check pt. 2 of Chieftain’s T55 tour particularly when he’s in the loaders area.

You should just walk into tank museums and act like a tour guide. _Real tour guide shows up;_ "um...who tf are you?" _The_Chieftan:_ "Um, well you see," _runs away at full sprint_

"Oh look. A Tiger". So nonchalant! It's not just a Tiger. It's THE Tiger! Come on man! LOL

I was posted to Bovington, E.T.W having spent a few weeks on Leopard 1A at PanzerLehr 93, Munster in 1966. The 'Leo 1' you point out as walk in to the 'Cold War' section is the tank we were to run trials on and it was a 'Leo 0' (prototype LS 2). There was only one hanger as the whole of the museum, TOG was a gate guard along with a WW1 APC, also when you walked in to the museum you were met with a mounted armoured knight.

I would love to visit some day. It is a bit of a trip though. There is 5000 miles of water between me and the museum.

Many thanks for the speed tour, one of these places that every tank enthusiast should go see!

I would binge watch high speed museum tours. Thanks!

I love our little walks together Chieftain :P I only wish you could spend more time talking about your personal thoughts and feelings surrounding the various vehicles as I always find your perspective as both a tanker and tank historian both interesting and entertaining. I do have to say though, this video only makes me want to visit the tank museum even more someday, although I suspect I'd find it too difficult to pry myself away from one vehicle and onto the next! Thanks for the video and please keep this sort of thing coming, I'd love to see a similar walk-through of Kubinka or other tank collections! :)

Excellent Mr.Moran & TTM. Loving the casually commenting wit abounding :) too funny yet apt too.

"TANKS" for the fast tour !

Thankyou Chief, very cool.

A new Chieftain video! What a great way to start up a cold October Saturday! And the best part is yet to come - I caught a glimpse of the Tiger II just at the end. That would be an awesome choice for the next Hatch episode, wink wink ;)

Nice touch wearing your cavalry hat. I remember trying to tell folk about Bovington and I think they told me I should wear a fox hat.

Nice tour and informative. Thanks for putting it up

Thanks for the tour, Chief!

wow, the museum has grown so much since i was a kid, must do a visit

Thank you! I will never get to visit this and many other museums.

very nice. please feel free to do these as you go around in your travels. frankly, even a short couple minutes of interesting displays at the archives you go to could be interesting. i have always maintained that the military has the best lawn ornaments. and some of the lawn ornaments and art displays at the archives i think would0 be interesting too.

I have clear memories of watching a Scorpion plunging from around 20 feet into concrete and the crew being completely unharmed. Okay it was my action man (G.I, Joe UK version) but many happy hours were spent seeing if I could break it or my action man as a lad. My action man did in the end lose his arm but it took a large mower to do it 😊

Thanks, this is one on my list to visit.

Sigh, I haven't been there in over 20 years. Must get back to the UK for a visit sometime. Thx for the video.

Kubinka next please! :)

Your wearing my Cavalry Stetson which was my units headgear.yep we also wore spurs that was fun with the chopper petals.

Nice job on the tour

I reckon its past time I got back to that place. I was there with my wife back in the early 90s visiting Norfolk. It looks like night & day compared to what I remember. If I'd been there by myself I could've spent a week, just exploring back then.

Ha! The side-eye at the end is gold.

You know Chieftain,when you said "cute little Ferret",I instantly thought about the two "retro" toy Ferret ACs in a Hungarian auction site :)

"Oh my God, is that a gap?" It is worth noting that this is a cruiser mk III with the retrofit to bring it to mk IV standard - adding the spaced armour to the turret. The dead giveaway is the cut off cornets on the turret front. The real mk IV doesn't have the gaps.

woohoo. more tanks for the people!

When I saw little willie I knew this video was going to be good!

Love your videos

High speed tour video thumbnail being image of one of the slowest tanks in history is a point of amusement.

Chieftain, we really need to get you to the AAF Tank Museum in Danville, VA. It's such a fantastic place, and they're struggling just to put a roof on one of the buildings!

Ridiculously late, but there is also another sherman DD in italy. It sunk during trials near Anzio and was recovered and restored in running order, it is now in the Museo di Piana delle Orme near Latina

Whole time I'm watching the video, my inner self is yelling "NO COVERS INDOORS" at the squaddies.

Love the videos good sir!! How many stares did you get for wearing the cavalry hat?? :-)

The last time I was in the tank museum (aka Tank Mecca) 3 years ago, I know this leo quite well, we were with Equipment Trials Wing on automotive trials and demos for 5 month. It is a pity they did not fit a MTU engine simular to the Leo in to the Chieftain, I believe it was tried in the Jagd Chieftain (Chimera). Your museum trips are great when you are like myself unable visit museums which are abroad. The problem is my mind (27) writes cheques my body (72) is unable to cash.

4:45 theres the moment I wanted to see The first operational tiger 131 herself She’s not the only operating tiger, the second is a king tiger numbered 233. It’s also the famous picture of a king tiger. But anyways, the superior of all tigers was 131, Germany had their best versions of their big cats ending up preserved and then used by their enemies. But none compared to what 131 had accomplished. Interesting fact, the turret of 131 is a modified turret from a Porsche tiger and mounted on a Henshel chassis.

The reason that they count the Soviet T-26's as part of the Vickers 6 tonne family - despite any deviation in the design - is that it was an official licence built version of the tank. It was one of the UK's most successful tanks for export until the advent of the Centurion, but even then beat that in numbers built.

Theres actually a 3rd sherman dd, it is in a museum near rome, in italy. Its canvas was torn during an exercise and it sunk. It has been discovered and took out of the sea. It is in the museum ever since.

Considering your comment on the Firefly; which model is the best overall? Considering how late the A3 chassis models carried on after the war I would think it's that variety (A3E2, A3E8 e.t.c.)

what a coincidence, I was there just a week before :P except I got a tour guide telling us all sorts of stuff about everything aha, like that the Russians put concrete in certain parts of rivers so they could cross during the cold war, he mentioned that whilst we were at that tank with the huge snorkel, he was an absolute legend that guy :)

You need a gimbal for these tours.

Think you'll ever get around to covering more of the WWI tanks in Inside the Chieftain's Hatch episodes? Or the T-35 for that matter. Even though it'd take a few episodes just to get around the whole thing I'm fairly sure Kubinka has one in running condition, or at least as well as it could be expected to run.

thanks man, as things are I probably will never go there myself.

thx for the vid chieftain

WOW Cromwell is from Polish Armor Division :) Nice :)

Nick - re: "only surviving DD Sherman". That may be the only Sherman V DD, but there is a decently restored M4A1 DD (US version) in Italy (pulled out of Salerno Bay where the troops lost it while training for Opn Dragoon). There is also a huld of an M4A1 DD near Slapton Sands in the UK (raised tank lost from Tiger Force) and there was another one in France. The tank at Anniston is based on an M4A2E8 (Sherman IIIAY) which would have been a second generation of DD tank.

A tour of the Panzermuseum Munster would be nice

If you didn't already. Or some link video if they know what I'm talking about. Thanks kindly. As my name suggests I love wot and the history of tanks and anything to do with tanks.

Mum always said. You know you're getting old. When soldiers look too young to be soldiers. Well. She actually said Cops and doctors. But it applies to soldiers as well.

It's rather quiet... (Note that I last went to the museum was during Tankfest 2015...) but I think the next part is going to be the best. Did you manage to get inside the conservation center Chieftain?

The Chieftain is the Chief!... Funny and interesting at one and the same time.

Actually Chieftain, the Medium Tank you mentioned is not Tier 1 but is Tier 2. Even more frustrating.

in 2014 i was in France and near the gold or sword beach there was a DD Sherman on street as a monument.

Une belle plongée dans l'histoire .

I've always wondered about museums like this, but do you have any idea how many (if any) of the vehicles still have guns that are operable? I'm sure some of them have been demilled or are using broken ones for display purposes, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of them can still be fired (especially the Challenger).

The modern ones on lone from the British Armed Forces can be taken back into inventory for emergencies, so I am sure those are still working.

i thought about that ages ago with the tracks look like hellmut

I really enjoyed it, but i did find myself wishing you'd turn the camera slower, i kept trying to look at everything.

You know, I had a Ferret at one time. Not long as I sold it for a profit. They were rather popular with civilians in the US as they were kind of entry level armored vehicles. Most people can not afford a M18 Hellcat, but most could muster up the cash for a Ferret. They have dried up though. Much harder to get a hold of one these days.

Are there any photos of the prototype DD Sherman you mentioned?
