  • We thought it was about time we had a play with this chieftain that had been laid to rest many years ago. we started checking things over before we were ready to start it only to find a fair few issues. if you like this video make sure to like, if we reach 5000 likes well get her driving properly and take it hounding round the fields!!

    For those who do not know, this is a Chieftan tank, one of the older models. You can tell because of the barrel, there is no gas container, the Centurion has one closer to the turret, for the chieftan it is farther up the barrel and is a different shape, you can look at images if you want.

    I was sure the batteries would be dead flat. I just subscribed guys as I am a bit of a tank nut.

    I just saw an old american cold war era tank here in germany at a museum on the former border between east and west germany. it was an M60A3 but the cannon was filled up completely with concrete, you have to do that in order to demilitarize it, otherwise it would be not allowed standing around in the landscape that's the law here.
