Excellent record of the event Tommy, and great to see a WW1 tank out, don't think I've ever seen one in action before. Fingers crossed I can make it to the 2018 event! :-)

[@mollsmyre]

Thanks Alan. The tank is a bit of a brute.It would be bad enough being at War without being stuck in one of ttem

[@tandemcompound2]

[@mollsmyre]

Hah... Grandad Abbott was in a first generation tank, 'Tank 5' in Germany just after WW1. We have a nice pic of him and his mates lounging about infront of it.

[@mollsmyre]

Thank you very much.Glad you enjoyed the video.Unfortunately I have no information about the WW1 tank so I have no idea if this was the same one that appeared in the movie.
