Squire yes indeed, you can tell he’s a real British gentleman just by looking at his mustache.

I need this for grocery shopping, complete with the Vic!

In a world with longer and longer videos and shorter and shorter attention spans, these videos are perfect. His delivery is spot on perfect, they are informative, but just the right length for my poor tired brain.

Absolutly fantastic! I love the way Fletcher explains things, and that you can feel he actually KNOW the stuff he is talking about. More of this if possible!

Saw this in the museum today and have to say found it quite interesting especially with the model t engine

I always like to listen to David's even though I am more into aircraft. It's a shame he retired from doing the chats. The museum is a fascinating place to visit, and can't be seen in one day unfortunately.

When a moustache becomes frontal armor ....

Why buy one? Just follow one and pick up the pieces as they fall off. Then build your own.

Thank you David Fletcher. This is a perfect summary of this great little vehicle.

Mr. Fletcher I could listen to you all day.

What a cute little vehicle

Man I bet one of these would be a laugh and a half to drive.

Reminds me of some footage I once saw from East Germany where kids doing some kind of paramilitary activity drove around in little tanks that were perhaps not all that different from these ones although they were more kiddie cars rather than this carrier vehicle.

Thank you for your continuing efforts. I appreciate your passing this knowledge on.

Getting a water cooled Vickers in to place would be a real problem for the enemy, handy machine.

I think small tanks like this might see a comeback as remotely operated vehicles. In my opinion a small, fast, remotely operated modern tank with a similar size as this armed with anti tank missiles and perhaps an autocannon of some sort would be very deadly, and hard to hit and destroy if equipped with ERA and active protection systems.

And you could deplay hundreds of them by a small fraction of the cost of a brigade of MBTs. Probably as many as 10 could be built by the same cost of a large tank, while human life cost is near none.

I'm always interested in 1920s tanks, even if most of them are crap, because of their relevance to Call of Cthulhu. Imagine how one of these would fare against a Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath!

You know I got an Advetisement for horse handling equiptment from the US before this video and since the Traditional role of cavalry was made obsolete by the tank I find it quite amusingly ironic. Also I have never been to the US or have stood even near a horse for half a decade so I am very bewildered. I thought someone else here would find that funny, anyway good video chaps.

I wish countries would have decided that this size of tank was actually effective, and that there were much more of them today.

love these videos. A pleassure to listen to David. More, more! :-)

Some comparison with the Universal "Bren" Carrier would have been good.

My country(thailand) also have this one but they call "ไอ้แอ้ด" or "i-ad*.

This is a bit like what eventually became the Vickers-Armstrong Bren Carrier. Before they had Jeeps, to carry a Machinegun over there, and set it up, quickly. Because they looked somewhat like little tanks, people wanted to use them as tankettes, when they really weren't, nor do they have any of that capability. They have one job: Carry a machinegun (And fire it on the move.) That's about it, however the Universal Carrier. Well, says it right on the tin, doesn't it?

This tankette makes me wonder about what the benefits would be to use this vehicle instead of let's say a jeep with a machine gun mounted on it. Both are not really intended to be at the frontline and lightly armored or not armored at all. Surely the benefits of having a faster and more versatile vehicle like a jeep would be greater than to use a mg carrier like the Carden Loyd Carrier?
