Al Murray | Bottom 5 Tanks
One for all you Panther fans! Comedian and history buff Al Murray puts a new spin on the concept, with his Bottom 5 Tanks.
Tanks Chat #124 | FV4005 Tank Destroyer
We are often asked what the mysterious gate guard at The Tank Museum’s exit is. Find out from David Fletcher MBE, who explores the experimental FV4005, with original turret and 183mm gun fitted on a Centurion Mark 12 hull.
Tank Chats #123 | Oxford and Cambridge Carriers
Tank Museum Historian David Fletcher presents a Tank Chat on the Carrier, Tracked, CT20, otherwise known as the Oxford Carrier. This unusual vehicle was an early post-Second World War British Armoured Personnel Carrier and Gun Tractor, which saw service in the Korean War. David also touches upon the Cambridge Carrier, built by Rolls-Royce as an updated and improved version of the Oxford, which never got out of the prototype stage.
Tank Chats #122 | Sherman 105
The Tank Museum’s Historian David Fletcher presents a Tank Chat on the only M4 variant of Sherman in The Tank Museum’s collection. This particular example is armed with the 105mm millimetre howitzer, designed for firing High Explosive in a close support role. Join David to find out more.
Tanks Chats #121 | The Cascavel
The Tank Museum’s Curator David Willey presents a Tank Chat on the EE-9 Cascavel, a Brazilian Armoured Car developed during the 1970s, primarily for reconnaissance. David also touches upon the EE-11 Urutu, which shares many of the Cascavel’s components.
