It's a great museum. They've got some pretty rare tanks exhibits and when I was there, you could ride a tracked vehicle and climb inside a tank with a tour from a veteran. Short train ride from London. Really worth the time.
"Tanks for watching."
I also worked at a museum, giving explanations/expositions. I do recognise this gentleman’s enthusiasm very much. For people in our job explaining and presenting isn’t the hard thing, it is noticing to what amount of detail and when to stop.
I love david willey, such well spoken and a really clear and interesting speaker. Wooooo

That Mark1 tank is one of the last not the last vehilcle that seen WW1,it's an honor for me to see this tank even from here.
Just to say, when I was a kid in the 1970's, I couldn't get hold of proper diagrams for these tanks, or internal photos, even. I had to rely on a small town library. This type of video is a GREAT thing about the Internet. Fake news, not so much.
I really like the speaker here. He's so beautifully British!

Tanks were invented in Lincoln, England where I live and was born! It's a lesser known town so it's cool we invented such a thing

Lincoln cathedral was the tallest building in the world from 1311 to 1549. The first building to be taller than the great pyramid. And you've got tanks, and, apparently, biscuits and a cool castle. Rethink your 'lesser known' status.

The main complaint is the colorization, which is flawed at points. For example, a green prototype triplane, flown by Rochthofen, is shown as red. But I find it helps greatly in picturing what things looked like at the time. It's not the best WWI documentary, but a useful one.

Im gonna watch that one soon:) The Great War (1963) and The First World War (2003) are my favourite WW1 docs. Apocalypse WW1 has some nice footage and decent content but The First World War and The Great War are still better
So cool seeing the development of the tank. Especially seeing the models that didn't get to the battlefield. Some soldiers were scared by the Mark 1 - imagine facing the Mark 9 with 30 guys coming out of it. Also fun fact - I want to university in Lincoln, where some of the first tanks were built. Whilst I was there they put up a memorial to the tank on one of the roundabouts leading into the city. So cool to be around actual history. Another great video guys - love all this on the road footage. Adds so much information.
I heard an episode of the Tank Museum saying that Little Willy had been used to guard a British airfield during the Second World War in anticipation of a German invasion.
Quite a tank collection that museum has.
Been to the tank museum recently, definitely worth the trip. Place is amazing
I would absolutely love to visit the Bovington Tank Museum. Tanks are some of the most interesting and coolest battlefield inventions ever devised.
I love everything about this video. The engineering, the history, and watching an American listen quietly to someone. Thank you folks, I'll show myself he door!
In memory of John Williams (Grandad) and his gunner who was only 15 years old and killed at this first action. Only 12 men survived that first outing and they retreated. In the woods where Grandad met up with his brother who had enlisted with fellow Canadians. Grandad made it home, mentioned in dispatches, but the fumes he had inhaled in driving a tank damaged his lungs and that eventually killed him.
Great video. Great subject. Great museum.
Just what I needed after a 6 hour drive and 3 hours of studying. Thanks Indy and crew!
Great info indeed ! By the way, two of the legendary armored personnel carriers in the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) were the American made M113 and the soviet made BMP
Oh wow, great job from the curator! Love how he explains everything up until the tiniest detail! And with such enthusiasm!

I have to comment on what a well-spoken and great guide David Willey is. I can't get enough of listening to him! He genuinely makes it very interesting to learn the history of the British tank.
This was absolutely excellent. Thank you, David Willey!
Oh yes, Ive been waiting for more videos from Bovington. David + Indy is the best combo
Great video! Very informative, well edited and presented (as always!) Big fan of the show, keep up the good work.
I was starting to get lonely without my Great War fix! As always, great job, team!

This was a fascinating video! Thanks for the upload!
I love learning with you guys so much.
Fantastic vid, thanks!
Great museum, thanks!
I want this dude to be my guide whenever i am in need of tank information!
Awesome stuff! Tanks!
Proud patron of the tank museum!
Great explanation! Thanks! I hope one day visit this museum! :)
Loved this. Thanks Indi and Willy
Great Episode !
Excellent presentation!
Great video. David really is great
The book "The Tanks at Flers" deals with the first tank action on the Somme in 1916
Great video!
Nice episode!!

Great episode dudes. The guy is very knowledgable.
Nice video. I would like to visit this place one day. Great job.
How can anyone dislike this video!!
great video
Wish I was close to this museum. I could listen to this guy talk about tanks for days.
Thanks Indy
Great show! It's like 17 minutes of only my favorite parts of Pacific Rim, but for real, and awesomer. Many tanks! 0:32
what an insightful and clear explanation! Is there a continuation to this?
Thanks for the tanks! : )
I would love of you guys could come to the Marasesti memorial in Romania!It is kinda cool
Awesome!!!
Love the show!!!!
Indy keeps looking around like he's watching for his pizza delivery.
Wow that"s amazing , I love these longer speaken in depth videos. Yesterday I was in Munster in germany where the Bundeswehr trains soldiers and does practices. There"s also germany"s biggest tank museum and it was truly awesome! You would love it! But sadly they focus more on ww2 and later but they still have some ww1 1stuff.
As a HUGE armour fan, THIS WAS A BLESSING ON A TUESDAY!
You found a very interesting man to talk to there. It's amazing to see the enormous difference between the state of battle technology, attitude and tactics between the start and the end of the war.
Another great episode, will have to make a trip to Bovington someday. Also that beard is fantastic!
This is the best channel on KZread.
The museum looks super interesting and well made.
Excellent guest speaker, really knows his stuff and how to explain it. Love the fact that his tie isn't a tie :)
Wow, much better technology than I had anticipated.
Brilliant. I love that place.
The American or Canadian chap seems to be a very polite listener . Great non mainstream History channel .
It's nice to see a tank video without annoying Russian rock music, that was produced on a Casio keyboard, on a loop blaring in the back ground. Great work.
Definitely a museum I would love
A must see Museum
I hope you Keep going with your Show after WW I. I would miss you!
I cant wait until the new channel for WW2 starts where things like the Tiger are part of the scope of the channel :D
Tank you
Fascinating
You know you never really realize how short Indy is. But great video you guys!
Beautiful machines.
thought for a second that Indy left dirty footprints on the shiny new floors at 09:10 ... x)
Indy's gut is getting massive. I like it.

Hey Indy I love your videos they’re great this is a suggestion can you start covering some of the American states and their role in the war?
