      Doesn't look like the Stage 1 mount though I thought? They did use a Mk3 chassis to test a few other guns I think

      He did say it would be the only one in the world and theres a FV4005 at Bovington Tank museum. So it could also be a Conway or something along those lines

    @robinsrampage Год назад +12

    there is finally a chance that the 4005 would be restored, and it makes me tremendously happy as that thing has memed its way into my life. if there was any chance for me to have even taken a part in this, i would've done it without question.

  • @dennisbailey4296
    @dennisbailey4296 Год назад +11

    This is a Priceless demonstration of trying to get age-old tank running and going through one step at a time and it's really cool your demonstration on the mag and how that was able to work so acutely and efficiently. I'm a Automotive mechanic and this is way more than just a will it start!!!
    All the best from Canada

      agreed, but i think whistlin diesel does know his stuff, bc lets not forget tht fr the first few years of hid chanel all the work he did on his cars/trucks were done in a garagewith very limited tools, however i do örefer whistlindiesel fr the lols

    Impressed by the determined, and methodical approach to get this old girl running. Lovely piece of military vehicle history, as you say unique. Thank god for the Foden, nothing seems to defeat them, such a shame that as a company they are no more. I sometimes wonder who has the most fun, us watching or you guys , probably the latter!

    Awesome video, I like how much detail your starting to go into now, I think a head or chest mounted go pro would suit this style really well and you can film with less cuts and keep your hands free, a bit like diesel Creek or Marty T

    • @thehighprotondiet
      @thehighprotondiet Год назад +1

      @@MrHewes Nah, chest cams never point where you want them to, you can never be sure what's in frame so you might miss sequences, you can't simply move them closer to things for a closeup, etc. They take away all the spontaneity of recording because you're always thinking about the bloody chestcam. They can work with really wide angle lenses and enough pixels but you'll spend many hours zooming and panning in your editor afterwards.

    It looks so claustrophobic with the hatches open.
