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.
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.
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.
And the biscuit. Underrated. The greatest tea-dunker of them all. Wikip says they are still huge in Argentina. They are right, and the rest of the world are wrong.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
This is one of the first videos I've ever seen with 0 Dislikes it just goes to show how many people love this show. Keep up the "Great" work Indy and team!
I remember when this channel started, I was impressed with the quality. And it has managed to get even better over time! I wish ww1 never ended. wait, no. But I will miss this channel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I visited this museum not long ago and it was amazing, so many incredible tanks. The tiger tanks were amazing to see but my favorite part was definitely the WW1 tanks.
Hi Indy and crew, I'm a huge fan of your series and, a fan of Halloween and would like to see a Halloween special of the "Great War". What ghost stories were told during the war, and what ghost stories do we have today from the Great War? Thanks. P.S. Could the crew have alil fun and dress up in costume for the end credits just as some extra fun?
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.
Was being on a large gun artillery crew one of the more desired and/or safer jobs in the war? I'm referring to the guns that were able to be miles behind the frontline. Since they didn't operate in trenches, were they spared the horrors of trench life? Also, how did they dial in a target? Did they need communication with men at the frontline seeing where the shells landed and having them guide the next barrage? (30 meters to the left, 10 meters further out, etc.) I'm curious how they hit targets accurately if they were so far out where they likely couldn't even see where the shells landed.
I love david willey, such well spoken and a really clear and interesting speaker. Wooooo
I've noticed that Indy always looks uncomfortable around him.
Radiyas13 For me it's more a look of dutiful student while around his favourite teacher.
no relation
@@chadsknnr Indy knows that David knows all.
Gotta love a man who refers to tanks as "this fellow here". : )
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.

No one can say that Indy has a tankless job.
You're fired!
My friend served as soldier in artillery, but he got fired.
Ba dum tsss
Yeah he's really enarmoured with his job.
Tanks for the joke.
The first salvo on the pun.:D
I really love these longer, in-depth videos. For some reason I find they stick in my head a lot better than the weekly episodes too.
+Andreas Gwilt well, if we would produce three of them a week (which we can't), probably the rare 30 minutes would stick with you
+Andreas Gwilt easy solution, just watch all of them again!
I really like the speaker here. He's so beautifully British!
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.
"Tanks for watching."
Tanks for this vid
*Sigh* I want to hate you. But i love you
Churchill, always Churchill, the most important man of 1900-1960 British History
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.
This is why I love World War 1 tanks, they had crazy ideas.
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
WAIT! So you're saying that you are a tank!? That's awesome -man- tank
And the biscuit. Underrated. The greatest tea-dunker of them all. Wikip says they are still huge in Argentina. They are right, and the rest of the world are wrong.
And, from an American, one of the best castles I saw in England....would live to visit Lincoln again.
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.
Did not Robin Hood and his men dress in Lincoln Green cloth? :)
So cool seeing the development of the tank. Especially seeing the models that didn't get to the battlefield.

Been to the tank museum recently, definitely worth the trip. Place is amazing
"...the Tigers!"
ARGHH!!!!!! I know Indy _had to_ stop there, but...did he *HAVE to* stop _THERE?!?_ LoL
Great video. Great subject. Great museum.
Oh wow, great job from the curator! Love how he explains everything up until the tiniest detail! And with such enthusiasm!
+Dóra Fauszt yeah, we could listen to him all day
Great production on this video.
10/10 would watch again
Oh yes, Ive been waiting for more videos from Bovington. David + Indy is the best combo
A great documentary series is World War One in color
Dumbass color wasn't invented until WWII.
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
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!
Was this before or after the espressos?
after
@@TheGreatWar why theres no Mark 2 and 3 because they are in musem and Mark 9
Always a pleasure to listen to Mr. Willey. Such an amazing capacity. Thanks
What an episode.. I learned a lot! David knows so much
That he does.
Love your show guys, keep it up!
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.
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
Just what I needed after a 6 hour drive and 3 hours of studying. Thanks Indy and crew!
This is one of the first videos I've ever seen with 0 Dislikes it just goes to show how many people love this show. Keep up the "Great" work Indy and team!
Loved this episode. Two of my favorite channels come together.
Wish I was close to this museum. I could listen to this guy talk about tanks for days.
Great explanation! Thanks! I hope one day visit this museum! :)
I love learning with you guys so much.
finally an explanation of the design function of the rear wheels, thanks
Wow, almost 10K views, over 1K likes and ZERO DISLIKES! The sign of a perfect video!!!!!
Trolls AI these comments and have evil bots put 2 dislikes in. (Today). My comment will attract more.... beware!
I was starting to get lonely without my Great War fix! As always, great job, team!
Proud patron of the tank museum!
I want this dude to be my guide whenever i am in need of tank information!
Great episode dudes. The guy is very knowledgable.
What an absolute winner to come home to. Cheers Indy!
I remember when this channel started, I was impressed with the quality. And it has managed to get even better over time! I wish ww1 never ended. wait, no. But I will miss this channel.
Quite a tank collection that museum has.
Solomon J. Solomon. A name so nice he got it twice

Excellent presentation!
Excellent guest speaker, really knows his stuff and how to explain it. Love the fact that his tie isn't a tie :)
Thanks alot Nigel for this informativ video Now we Looking forward to the Tiger and King Tiger Tanks video
Stuglife is what it's all about
Although the Tiger in itself is a huge plot spoiler - there was a World War TWO! 😱
Great museum, thanks!
Never gets old to learn about armor and how it came about! Excellent work guys!
what an insightful and clear explanation! Is there a continuation to this?
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.
This was absolutely excellent. Thank you, David Willey!
Great show! It's like 17 minutes of only my favorite parts of Pacific Rim, but for real, and awesomer. Many tanks! 0:32
I hope you Keep going with your Show after WW I. I would miss you!
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.
Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home
But you can't push Willy round
Willy won´t go
Nice video. I would like to visit this place one day. Great job.
As a HUGE armour fan, THIS WAS A BLESSING ON A TUESDAY!
Special tanks for giving us this episode.
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.
Fantastic vid, thanks!
That Jagdtiger towards the end always gives me the warm-fuzzies.
Another great episode, will have to make a trip to Bovington someday. Also that beard is fantastic!
Tank you
Great video! Very informative, well edited and presented (as always!) Big fan of the show, keep up the good work.
Love David’s nit ties. Indie should try one.
This was a fascinating video!
Thanks for the upload!
You know you never really realize how short Indy is. But great video you guys!
Great video. David really is great
Loved this. Thanks Indi and Willy
I visited this museum not long ago and it was amazing, so many incredible tanks. The tiger tanks were amazing to see but my favorite part was definitely the WW1 tanks.
The museum looks super interesting and well made.
Amazing show
I cant wait until the new channel for WW2 starts where things like the Tiger are part of the scope of the channel :D
I would love of you guys could come to the Marasesti memorial in Romania!It is kinda cool
Great Episode !
Wow, much better technology than I had anticipated.
For the series "who did what in ww1" can you speak about sgt. Hercules Korgis. Thank you!
The book "The Tanks at Flers" deals with the first tank action on the Somme in 1916
Thanks Indy
I’m coming down in the summer I’m so excited
we will also be there in summer again!
Hi Indy and crew, I'm a huge fan of your series and, a fan of Halloween and would like to see a Halloween special of the "Great War". What ghost stories were told during the war, and what ghost stories do we have today from the Great War? Thanks.

Great job guys! I really like this museum video's you put out, but i have to ask: will you be doing videos on tank's from other nations?
+Nikola Bačić yes.
The Great War YES, cant wait!
If this episode had been over an hour long, it still wouldn't have been too long. ENCORE!
Nice episode!!
The mark V was used until the 30s here in Canada, if I'm not mistaken
Awesome stuff! Tanks!
Hey indy love the. Wanted to ask who were the most skilled soldiers for war
Awesome, can't wait till you do WW2 and cover the WW2 tanks!
How can anyone dislike this video!!
The American or Canadian chap seems to be a very polite listener . Great non mainstream History channel .
Brilliant. I love that place.
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.
Fantastic video
Beautiful machines.
thought for a second that Indy left dirty footprints on the shiny new floors at 09:10 ... x)
Was being on a large gun artillery crew one of the more desired and/or safer jobs in the war? I'm referring to the guns that were able to be miles behind the frontline. Since they didn't operate in trenches, were they spared the horrors of trench life?

Can you talk about the brief Russian and German ceasefire to hunt wolves in the eastern front please I would really like to know more about it

Great video!
