    We've been so busy over the last couple of weeks, this video is just clips I've taken when we have had chance. Hopefully you find it bearable :) let me know what you think!

    That was a really interesting vlog, thank you. It is not always necessary to spend time producing a perfect video, a selection of clips making up a story is good work, and so natural. I hope to get to visit you in a few weeks time.

      Hi, we called around about 4 weeks ago when you were working to get the AVRE to Tankfest, and the young lad showed us round while you were hard at it. Very impressed with all you do there, an excellent visit, thank you.

    Your collective engineering knowledge is both invaluable and admirable.
    Really like the rough assemblage style of this video, too, so maybe throw one in the mix every now and again?
    Best wishes to the team from Wirral.

    A new video from the Norfolk Museum complete with rains and trains and a leaking Chieftain. All is right in the world again. I never really minded when the fuzzy mic crept into view. Better to see it than hear the wind noise without it IMHO. I hope you all had a great opening. It's been weeks from hell here as well, but this puts a smile on my face.

      It’s been mental here! Hopefully by mid week I should be back on track. Your pistons are sitting on my bench I plan on getting to them this week with the ones for the rebuild. I’d like to build the engine to a long block in the next couple of weeks :)

      Best tank of its era if it broke down in the right place! but jokes aside once you get to the mk11 engines all the teething problems had been ironed mostly out, ours has a mk13a the best mark of the l60. far better than the later mk13a2 engine

      I'll never buy a non genuine CAV filter head ever again!! i brought that engine with a broken filter housing and didn't think using a slightly cheaper alternative would cause so much trouble!
      new CAV one is already in the post to us!

      Generating unit engine (GUE)
      Provides the tank with electrical power and hydraulic start :)
      350amp alternator the main engine only has 150amp which only produces power over 1000rpm
