    Ted deserves his own channel, we know he'd be knocking them out more frequently than Un-Fitter Matt.

    I can see that Ted's mechanical expertise are the backbone of the entire operation
  • I remember painting the Berlin camo on the Fox. We used brushes and tins of paint. One guy had the pattern and shared it between the crews. All patterns were (almost, at a distance) the same. Great job lads.

    I’ve just realised Teds not a old dog he’s just covered in over spray. 😂😂😂😂

    Loved the safety squint whilst welding.
  • I remember seeing a Chieftain in Berlin Brigade camo in the Saumur tank museum, it looks awesome!

    You guys are really quit amazing. Often laugh when you say we don’t know what we are doing,yet you all have a better understanding than most mechanics that have gone through school.It’s a far better mechanic that can trouble shoot a problem than one that just replaces parts until the problem goes away.Keep up the good work.🎉🎉😊😊

    Always reckoned that the thickness of paint on our 432’s and CVRT’s was more protective than the original armour.

    Thank you, Joe, for telling Fitter Matt to stop slackin!
  • @MegaDtard
    You fellers sure know how to sass up a tank. Love to see it thanks for sharing!
  • Invest in a induction heater for bolts likeInduction Innovations - Mini-Ductor Venom HP (MDV-787) - Handheld Induction This will surprise you in its ability make bolts removal so much easier. Cheers from across the pond.

    people always ask me 'what paint do i use' the answer's always the same, 'wet paint, it goes on easier' love Ted, great looking dog, and got great character, likes to get in on the action, just lost mine, so going to miss him, Gunner was a German Short Haired Pointer, was a great character too all the way to the end wow was beginning to think you'd fallen out with Flatter Matt, and he's cooking on gas, burning stuff, welding his nuts Jack doing a sporting job on the paint scheme, will be nice to see that . . . parked up somewhere in town, outside a police station perhaps hehe . . . the one that helped so much with your Landy
