[@ausarmour]

Ask your questions about this week’s episode HERE ⬇️⬇️⬇️ we’ll answer as many as we can in 60 seconds!

[@dukenukem8381]

Are soviet vehicles easier to fix but break all the time thus nullifying all the benefits ?

[@HailHydra27]

Is setting the fire alarm off with exhaust smoke something that happens a lot?

[@Shooooooooooop_the_real_one]

How far is the workshop from the museum?

[@adubs3080]

How is a hole in thick tank armour repaired. And is it worse then the original armour

[@corpnut2906]

was the Ram only used as a APC and if not what other uses did it play?

[@RWJP]

Seems like Graham is a great addition to the team and a natural on camera. He's going to fit right in!

[@IntrospectorGeneral]

I don't know. That car owner virus joke was a bit sketchy.

[@RWJP]

@@IntrospectorGeneral Exactly, that's why he fits so well. The AusArmour guys have cracked all sorts of terrible jokes on camera before!

[@wrecks02]

Graham's got a sense of humour... Very valuable addition to the team. And he knows what he's about

[@entropyachieved750]

Another quality mechanic on the team. Aus Armour is really lucky to have people who are passionate about the work. Look forward to seeing more of Graham

[@Duffy3074]

And he’s got a great sense of humour 👏🏻

[@highlander147]

Hooray for Workshop Wednesday! Welcome Graham and his ‘one adoring fan’

[@himaro101]

That moment got a laugh from me. He's quick witted and a natural on the camera.

[@diaspo]

Graham's an absolute champion addition to the team! He's easily one of the best metal workers I've ever come across, and his passion for tanks is contagious. Hope to see more of him on these weekly wrap-ups!

[@markhorrell9213]

I'm chuffed Graham got the nod from you guys. I've watched his channel for a long time n love his knowledge,enthusiasm n humour. Wish him all the best!

[@dm55]

Good way to clear out the mosquitos.

[@lukevannek9259]

Does anyone else want to see Steve Elbow Deep in that Radial!!!!!

[@RabidBadger-39]

Welcome to the Aus Armour crew, Graham!

[@larrylongprong5219]

Graham is a champion

[@2zero660]

Welcome back to our screens, Graham . If you had to move channels, you moved to one of the best , it's your sense of humour I've missed 😂😂

[@ivan.i.gerasimov]

Can't wait to see the Flak gun in the middle of the testing range restored!

[@kurgisempyrion6125]

Was thinking exactly the same myself :)

[@causewaykayak]

Overhaul and makeover! It would be a super video

[@simonbennett9486]

Yup, it definitely needs some TLC. You'd think that seeing it out there in the middle of the track, it would be a constant source of annoyance to the workshop guys to see it in such bad shape all the time. One day its salvation will come 🤞

[@causewaykayak]

​@@simonbennett9486🙏

[@terrypinner6909]

Glad Graham ended up here. Clearly much happier and less stressed!!

[@b1g1lz]

I'm gonna miss your content on XA coupe guy but good to see you happy working on tanks Graeme.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

He probably got sick of never ending rust!

[@anumeon]

Ohh wow, two minutes after upload.. I do not think i ever have been this early before.. Congrats on your wonderful new teammate. He really has a great on screen personality. :)

[@schwabrichard9829]

TGIW! Another great video. Welcome Graham from the USA.

[@roycarter6235]

Graham will be a great addition to the workshop team. He has the right attitude when dealing with old machines. You are going to get dirty, sweaty and tired.

[@DailyWarbird]

Straight away you can see Graham is going to fit right in with the Aus amour crew, look forward to seeing more.

[@busterdee8228]

Clever chap. Good sense of humor.

[@bradmccartney187]

As always I am never disappointed in watching your videos. I have few favorite channels but this one is number one on my watch list. To bad it's only one day per week. Please take care down under and stay safe. Thank You all for the great video.

[@timot7746]

Nicely done, Graham.

[@nate85nz]

The wife just said go watch Workshop Wednesday, lol

[@SixplusonemediaAu]

What a fantastic addition to the team he is! Awesome episode as always.

[@Laxpowertoo]

It's not wenzzzday until Kurt gets here!

[@allaboutboats]

Car Owner Virus indeed! Welcome Grant!

[@arthurhucksake2665]

I love the sound of old radial engines

[@spikeyflo]

Graham has a very good 'trackside manner' about him! Well filmed too!

[@stevemcintyre4398]

Great to see Graham doing what he loves. As much as he is a gun panel beater, you could tell from when he was doing up his Stuart tank that this is where his passion now was. I'm sure he will be a great asset to the museum but as a Ford guy, I'll miss his quality work on old Ford restorations.

[@Onceayoungidiot]

Graham looks like an excellent addition to the team. Great find, folks! 🎉

[@NSYresearch]

Well... once again the Museum gains a great personality and craftsman. Welcome Graham.

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Looks like another worthwhile member of the team, great job Graham

[@IainMacmillan-l2g]

Another excellent member for the team: knowledge, practical skills and top notch communicator.

[@philynuku914]

Graham is good value, more of him please 🙏 😂

[@doctoredic]

Welcome Graham , we saw you driving the Russian gun carrier on Wednesday . Great work , we were surprised just haw big the facility is . Amazing.

[@mickypd1]

Yep, the smoke alarms are working.

[@1701enter]

very enjoyable and thanks for the comedy!

[@ReneNvt-se5lj]

Finally Graham in the spotlight for the first time in Workshop Wednesday

[@ballagh]

“So that’s what a compliment sounds like”😂

[@johnfirth6809]

Graham it’s great to see him enjoying his work. Loved his utube channel. A passionate guy who loves is AUS Armour.

[@brettjurmann4326]

Awesome to see Graham back in action! Loved his personal channel and he's going to be a great asset to the museum.

[@TKM1951]

The Ram were converted Ram and Sherman tanks . Used as armoured personnel carriers to help the infantry keep pace with the tanks . I have also seen pictures of them used in Holland

[@shanemossmoss]

Another great job guys thanks

[@arffadailey8055]

Good on you XA coupe guy. Hope its going well for you Graham.

[@huwtindall7096]

Graham is a great addition to the team! Welcome aboard!

[@paultanker5606]

G'day to you! Graham has the typical Oz humor we all love! Armadale West Aust.

[@scottcrawford7310]

Workshop Wednesday Fantastic Welcome graham.

[@adstyle7001]

Followed Graham over from his channel. Great to see him at work on his real passion.

[@CitizenSmith50]

Old Bush Mechanics' motto; "If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer !" This Guy seems good: got a sense of humour (which,no doubt, you'd need when working on tanks !

[@Michael_CS615]

Support the museum by becoming an annual member - even if you never visit the place!

[@craigjones2878]

Good to see Graham back into the military stuff, congratulations on the dream job.

[@tomppeli.]

This guy's brilliant!

[@andrewdowns3403]

if it's blowing smoke , it's got oil

[@shedwork]

Welcome Graham - great job there mate, you KYS (know your s***). I love the radial engines, the turning to avoid hydraulic lock in the cylinders is critical. I used to help on the HARS Lockheed Super Connie. It had 18-cylinder 2 bank 3350 ci radials and needed 60 blades of the props on all four engines before every start. That was hard work with 2 of us turning with the 9 foot prop blades as a lever. I imagine turning a 975 ci with a crank handle was VERY HARD. Glad you didn’t blow an O-ring. PS you passed the audition mate! 😃👍👍👍

[@CharlesTimothy-en7to]

My Wednesday fix didn’t disappoint.

[@youtubecomedy5289]

Nice work Graham. Well done😊

[@paulorchard7960]

Good to see you put Graham straight to work, you can always trust the new guy to set off some sort of alarm‼️ 😅

[@mynameis9057]

AWESOME 👍💯%✓ 🆒 selling those rare parts of military history! Thank you for the opportunity to get it!😉 Well done ✅ Great to meet the new guy and I was glad to see Al back and at it again Full Force last week too!👍😉😅 Hell yeah! Thanks again everyone!✅

[@davidwarren9204]

The Bovongton Tank Museum has a note on its exhibit's webpage suggesting they are called 'Kangaroos' because they carried their troops in their armored "pouch' (and photos do kind of resemble a bunch of Joey's heads protruding from their mums' pouches :)

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Graham is a great addition to your channel. He's fun to watch and informative at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

[@FrancSchiphorst]

Welcome to the team. Probably one of the more menial jobs at the museum but well executed and fire and smoke and an alarm so well done :) And the perk of then having to test you work. Have to drive a bit to make sure there is no oil leak :D

[@davidorf3921]

It's always good to see when you have a chap like Graham who knows exactly what he's doing and just gets on with it ,plus he's good an camera, explaining not only what he is doing but why he's doing it that particular way. Also he knows just how to drive a tank. A really good addition to the team

[@bernielast9263]

Welcome mate! Woot another bloke to make my hump days well worth looking too 👍👍

[@craigtomkinson2837]

So cool this ep guys, So glad our two sons and I came up in August this year to check lots out,

[@bryanstotts3466]

That is really awesome to see Graham working with you guys now. He looks more fit like he has dropped a few pounds and his cropped haircut is a big improvement for that young man. My wife enjoyed watching him with me when he had his old channel. His nerdy, yet highly knowledgeable demeanor combined with his funny "dad jokes" endeared him with her and made watching his videos with her fun. Kind of like watching Darryl. I think you guys hit it out of the park for future videos by hiring him, and we hope to see more of him in the future!

[@lloydgoldston3620]

Graham has the chops and a funny disposition as well which is a must in a shop. Great addition to team!

[@krmould]

Welcome Graham! Great to see a Canadian piece of kit still kicking around!

[@Hagbergscorner]

Great mechanic, great sense of humour and a good driver. He will fit right in. 👍

[@paulday-lh5mx]

Great video......and congrats to Graham for joining the team. Hello to Steve during his cameo appearance.

[@chrishewitt4220]

Brilliant! Loving this.

[@desertviking]

Graham is awesome! Good addition to the team! Seems like a guy who loves what he does.

[@Absaalookemensch]

Kangaroo, built Ram tough. Thank you to all of you for restoring history and the videos.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Great to see Graeme again living his dream life now 💪💪💪 That definitely needs an engine rebuild when you are setting off the fire alarm 😂😂

[@nicholass3964]

Yay, Graham

[@OmarFawcett]

Great episode!

[@lukefriesenhahn8186]

We would love to see more of Graham! He really is a character!

[@Xenoclides]

Graham's a great addition! Hope to see more of him on Workshop Wednesday

[@october62]

Just what the Channel needed...More Australian Personality...Love it!

[@adubs3080]

They were built off the lee haul with a six pounder that was upgraded sometime during the war to another gun I forget. If memory serves me right they did the earlier batches with the machine gun turret but either got rid of it or covered it up. Also for those thinking it’s a knockoff Sherman, it kinda is but came out just a bit before the Sherman.

[@richardphelan8414]

On the radials if they don't smoke there's something wrong ,the new guy is a good fit to the Museum hope to see more of him and Steve working together in the future ,Good Morning from Texas

[@rudedogg6331]

So glad you adopted Graham and gave a forever home to one of my favorite Aussie misfits 😂 As a retired panel beater in the United States, he had one of my favorite channels which I was sad to see go, but his talents will be a great asset to Aus Armour. Make sure you keep him well fed, pat his head and scratch his belly on the reg. I'm so glad we didn't have to send him to "that farm in the country" instead.👍

[@roberthocking9138]

Greta to see graham again, I watched some of his car vids and he said he was heading up north. Great vid, well done

[@Marchochias]

Damn, didn’t realize any RAMs had made it to Australia. Thought they never left Canada and were just used for training here. Also, was that a little Oblivion reference with adoring fan? That was a good one

[@johnhumphreys3246]

Looking forward to the day when Graham does a tank rest repair.

[@robertshemory3541]

Graham's entertaining I watched him restore his stuart tank on his channel. A great addition to the team.👍✌️❤️😎

[@Jim8471]

The guys a comedic menace. Love it.

[@simonbennett9486]

A big welcome to Graham, Looks like Steve has some competition in the humour department 😉. Great that he seems to be passionate about what he's doing, and loved the smooth slide down the mud guard at the end, must be the mechanic's version of the football-stricker's power slide 😆.

[@usmcchet]

Glad to see you joined the crew your Stuart resto was awesome

[@jameswalshjr]

It can't be stuck if it's liquid! Welcome aboard Graham! Nice work on the idler wheel and track links!

[@dungeonslayer4692]

I saw a future restoration project outside!

[@thurin84]

welcome aboard xacoupeguy! we know theyre tears of joy from getting to work on a tank graham!

[@thecraftsman72]

Welcome Graham Enjoyed your one liners very much Sir.

[@stevebarnett-f5o]

Good to see another pair of hands on board.

[@CaptainCamperLP-CCLP]

Great watching Graham work, more please!

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@eddiemarsh6256]

Awesome to see one at speed, heaps better than seeing one crawl😊

[@georgesgohier484]

As a battlefield taxi, I have always considered this kangaroo to be functional..... but a bad idea in that there is no provision for the fighting crew to get out - except by "going over the top

[@ianbeale2527]

Ram II , is my favourite vehicle of WW2. The Ram Kangaroo is a very close second. 3rd, no surprise is the Sexton.

[@andydelarue9344]

Grahams a gun , fancy finding him and his got his own armour, and his good out on the range This channel is getting good.

[@danielmc762]

It’s no XA Coupe my Guy, but have been watching Graham for years, know this is his dream job glad he’s chasing his dream.
