I'm only guessing, but I think most Brits who claim to have driven a tank have actually driven a CVR(T). The press call them tanks, so they must be!flyingscotsman39 wrote:Damm, I've only driven a CVR(T)
In a 'previous life', when I first joined the Army, I was a tank crewman. I was a gunner on Chieftains in Germany in the late 70s and early 80s. I served at ATDU for over 2 years gunning and driving CVR(T), Chieftain and Challenger 1 as well as a load of experiment, trial and sales vehicles. I've never driven a Chally 2, but I hear they're a quantum leap on the Mk 1.
You can keep tanks though; noisy smelly things
Oh, hang on, that'll be helicopters too! Wild horses wouldn't have got me back onto tanks after I started my flying career."We attack tomorrow under cover of daylight! It's the last thing they'll be expecting ... a daylight charge across the minefield .."
Nope, I've driven a Chieftain at Hohne back in 86 with the QOH, turret was back to front so trying to squeeze between the storage and the drivers hole was an interesting example of yoga; I couldn't get it to turn left and nearly took out one of the shed walls, but missed by about three feet...also drove a Scorpion and THAT was fun!!I'm only guessing, but I think most Brits who claim to have driven a tank have actually driven a CVR(T). The press call them tanks, so they must be!

I may end up with some flak following this but ---
When I was policing a section of the M25 and there were width restrictions whereby vehicles over a certain width had to be escorted. At the time, following the run down of the UK Army of the Rhine Chieftains were being returned to the UK and sold as scrap. We escorted quite a few and, of course, had to have a look inside. I wondered whether someone who volunteered to go to war in one of those metal boxes was incredibly brave or completely bonkers!. Anyway, some were going to scrap with as little as 10kms on the clock and were practically brand new.
I also had a problem with six transporters with Challengers (I think) one day in the same roadworks but the lead driver may read the forum!

Actually, it was great fun for a couple of years, but I'm still trying to get the stink of diesel out of my pores nearly 24 years later."We attack tomorrow under cover of daylight! It's the last thing they'll be expecting ... a daylight charge across the minefield .."
