various vehicle details but I wonder how much he actually has been
around armored vehicles, as I noticed at the engine section of the
video his left foot is bending thin fuel lines that feed to and
from the fuel pump ( at a guess with not having seen that engine in
real life ), which is not a very clued up way to be around a
historical piece such as the mighty Jagtiger ! It may sound picky
but to be so brash shall we say around such a magnificent vehicle
makes me shake my head as the restoration process that makes this
Jagtiger the way it is involves not just sweat and the obvious
hours and hours of work but a special kind of pride to have been
lucky enough to have been involved in a vehicle restoration. UPDATE
: for those who have messaged / commented to me about this post
with things like ' What would you know about restoring
vehicles' or the best comment 'F**k you your an
[edited]' all I will say Is that I am in fact an ex forces
guy who really has worked on more than one vehicle project /
restoration ( Like the T-62 I am next to on my profile photo, where
the involvement was with the turret which was removed and turned
into a training aid for a Foreign Military ) and has also been
involved with several Military Documentary programs, such as the
2004 D-Day special, where a Scorpion light tank has Sherman D-Day
flotation screens re-created to see how and if the principal really
worked ( I am the Vehicle Commander in that section of the
Documentary with Sink or Swim on my Helmet, and was incredibly
privileged to meet an amazing D-Day Sherman crewman who also
features in that part of the Documentary ) so please stop messaging
me with those types of comments as I really really do know what I
am talking about and I hope this update lets me have some peace,
though of course any genuine message etc is always more than
welcome.
Hunter1911: Hi Toomski2000, To answer your question:
The_Challenger is an ex forces member, with almost 30 years of
experience in the Royal Tank Regiment. So I would dare to say
he has spent his fair share of time around armoured fighting
vehicles. Enough to know how to act around them, and what to do, or
not to do. I agree with your point of view, as I myself also
see that vehicle as a piece of history, and a legendary example of
WWII armoured fighting vehicle. And I assure you we always make
sure not to do any harm to the vehicles in our dealings with them.
