Alvis 'Shadow' Strike Vehicle Walkaround
The Alvis 'Shadow' Offensive Strike Vehicle came from a joint development programme between Alvis and AM General (part of General Motors) in the late 1990s. The aim was to combine features of the Land Rover and the HMMWV, specifically the size and off-road capability of the HMMWV with the reliability and ease of maintenance of the Land Rover. Powered by a GM 6.5L V8 turbocharged diesel engine, the Shadow had a top speed of 75mph (120kph), and the vehicle was designed to be air-portable by the CH-47 Chinook or C-130 Hercules aircraft. Sadly Alvis received no orders.
This Alvis Shadow, one of only two prototypes built, was at the Tanks, Trucks and Firepower show in 2024.

WW2 Daimler Armoured Car Walkaround
Просмотров 8621 день назад
Many fans of the Daimler Armoured Car know it from the classic Dinky toy version. Designed by BSA (Birmingham Small Arms), the full-size vehicle incorporated some of the latest concepts for the time - welded, monocoque construction, four-wheel drive, and no chassis but independent suspension. It was handed from BSA to Daimler for production, and was powered by Daimler's 4.1-lit 6-cylinder petro...
Abbot Self-Propelled Gun Walkaround
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Месяц назад
The Abbot 105mm self-propelled artillery gun served with the British Army from 1965 to 1985, and for longer with the Indian Army. Around 230 were built. The L13A1 gun could fire a variety of ammunition and had a range of 10 miles (17km) - the distance was controlled by the size of the propellant charge. Weighing in at 16.5 tonnes, the vehicle had a top speed of 29mph and could swim at 3 knots w...
WW2 Sherman Firefly Walkaround
Просмотров 1792 месяца назад
The Sherman Firefly was the first Allied tank of WW2 capable of knocking out the German Tiger or Panther, using its 17pdr (76.2mm) main gun. Mounting the 17pdr anti-tank gun in the Sherman had been discussed as early as January 1943, but the feasibility of the idea was not demonstrated until November of that year. The 17pdr needed to be turned through 90 degrees so that it could be loaded from ...

The full German name for this light half-track is Leichter Zugkraftwagen 1t SdKfz 10 Ausf B Typ D7. It was designed as an artillery tractor capable of towing a 1-ton load and was the seventh in a series that had begun development in the early 1930s. The D7 was in production from 1938 to 1944, and the chassis was also used to mount anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns. Demag, Adlerwerke, Büssing-NAG...

The FH70 155mm towed field howitzer began development in 1963. Initially a project led by the UK and Germany, after the operational characteristics had been agreed in 1968, Italy joined the collaboration. The howitzer entered service in 1976 but needed modifications and came into full service in 1980. The FH70 had a range of up to 19 miles, a burst capability of three rounds in 15-20 sec, could...
WW2 Comet Tank Walkaround
Просмотров 2803 месяца назад
The A34 Comet was designed by Leyland Motors in 1943. Mechanically it was similar to the A27M Cromwell, but the aim was to mount the 17pdr (76.2mm) anti-tank gun and increase the thickness of the tank's armour. A prototype was ready by February 1944 and the Comet entered service with the 11th Armoured Division in early 1945. Production ended in May 1945, by which time 1,200 had been built. This...
WW1 Traction Engine Walkaround

I was surprised to find this Aveling and Porter traction engine at Tankfest 2024 at The Tank Museum. Named 'Clyde', it is technically a 6nhp (nominal horse power) YLD class compound road locomotive No. 8471, and was completed by Aveling and Porter Ltd in Rochester, Kent, in December 1914. Clyde's WW1 service involved hauling three wagons of stable manure from the horse lines at Aldershot to Hal...

The Chieftain main battle tank served with the British Army from the mid 1960s to the late 1980s. Anti-tank mines are always a threat to tracked vehicles as they can damage a track immobilising the vehicle, as well as injuring crew members. This Chieftain Mark 5, on display outside at The Tank Museum, is fitted with a Pearson Engineering Track Width Mineplough, which was designed to slice throu...

Jointly developed by Czechoslovakia and Poland in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the OT-64 SKOT was an amphibious 8x8 armoured personnel carrier that came into service in 1963-64. It replaced the OT-810 half-track and was roughly equivalent to the Soviet BTR-60. Czechoslovakia provided the engine, transmission and axles for the OT-64, while Poland built the hull, turret and on-board weapons, a...
WW2 Jagdtiger Walkaround
Просмотров 875 месяцев назад
Just 85 of the 75-tonne Jagdtigers were built by Germany late in World War Two. Although the 128mm gun could destroy any Allied tank at ranges of over a mile, the massive vehicle was too heavy for its engine and transmission and often broke down. As the Germans retreated, immobilised vehicles had to be abandoned. This Jagdtiger was built in July 1944 and used for trials at the Sennelager testin...
WW2 DUKW Walkaround

Based on GMC’s CCKW 2½-ton 6x6 truck, the DUKW had buoyancy tanks for flotation, and a single propeller that provided propulsion in the water using a duplex-drive system similar to that used on swimming Shermans. The DUKW's purpose was to resupply forces in a beachhead after an amphibious landing, and various people in the US were involved in its development, including yacht makers, a deep-wate...

The Ordnance quick-firing 25-pounder gun/howitzer served with the British Army and Commonwealth forces from 1939 to the 1960s, and was the main British field gun of World War Two. The gun's main ammunition was high explosive, but smoke, anti-tank and star shells were also used. During set up, the 25pdr was pulled onto the circular firing platform, which transmitted most of the gun's recoil to t...

    Fact: The Germans often removed the wheels and tires from abandoned vehicles. NOT because they were short of them. They did it because the US, USSR and UK were suffering from and acute shortage of rubber. Hence the massive tire "donations" each held where they literally stole the tires from the civilians of their own countries as well as countries theyr rapists invaded in their bid to occupy besiege, loot, rape and oppress Europe. The Germans had vast stockpiles of synthetic rubber and synthetic oils/ fuels. .fact; 99% of the modern day rubber and fuels/ oils are all based upon German WW2 patents and recipes/ formulas that were stolen by the bad guys in their war which was started by the bad guys i.e. FDR, Churchill, Stalin, Smygly, Daladier in order to steal everything of value from Germany
