TANK HULKS 2

[@balacau]

In a reply to the discussion concerning the Churchill hull at 5:14, looking at the front of the tank and the staggered square hole in the right glacis; reminds me of a Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank. Its possible that it was an AVRE (without the turret, hard to tell), if there were lots of bolts/attachment points on the hull sides then it could well have been but I'm more confident that it was a flamethrowing version of the Churchill infantry tank.

[@MrKukenimunnen]

Very fitting music. Many samurais used tanks during battle.

[@balacau]

Sad to say but as of earlier this year, the museum is no longer open. Not quite sure exactly why they've closed but it has. It was a wonderful place to visit and the staff were great, very friendly and certainly knew their stuff. It was always a place I visited when passing through, sadly no longer the case. Really enjoyed watching the video (always been a fan of the Churchill tank), it brought back some good memories. Fitting music as well.

At 2.20 there is a large grey armoured vehicle. This is P2. A rare Centurion Tank that runs backwards by using a Conquerer gearbox. The driver sits on the left looking over the engine decks (a bit like a railway locomotive). A pig to drive as the tillers are hydraulic and the gear linkage worn and rusty. This must be the one from Shoeburyness unless it has a twin sister!!

[@JHallam77]

that is pretty cool, I didn't expect it to be on the isle of wight, I only live half a mile away from this site pretty worth going to

[@ppsh43]

Wow, each one of these hulks must have an great story.

[@jomorris1022]

I would love to see one of the old Churchill tanks restored!

[@swagmanexplores7472]

Two conquerer ARVs ! They will never be able to restore both. Best gift one to me and I’ll take good care ...

[@TheDazachman]

Wish I could purchase one of these old hulks.

[@PVN24]

These hulls should be restored into exhibits! ;)

[@Aza19850]

this music put my peoples spirit to rest at last

[@itzzdustyspartan3241]

The Museum is open again. But most of these tanks are gone. The Challenger, Charioteer, Comets, Sherman, Churchill's, M47 Patton are gone. They only have the FV3805, 2 Conqueror AVRE's, Centurion MK.3, Centurion MK.5 AVRE and a Conqueror MK.2 Left and a few APC's and IVF's. The tanks that have gone have moved to other locations. I'm not sure where.

[@pacman5213]

the cost and the lack of spare parts. a lot of these vehicle are already in museums. it's sad to see them rust.

[@yz250brett]

Maybe if the museum was open more than Wed-Fri they could afford to fix some of the stuff up!

[@evanhughes7609]

5.14 - it's a Churchill, but not a Mark I; Mark I had a hull-mounted 3 inch howitzer, which was omitted from Mark II onwards. Other than that, without the turret, it's hard to tell what model it is!

[@thegreatchimp]

@Cougar545x39 Thanks, would never have recognised it as a conquerer -the hull must have been modified a lot.

[@mekkanik1]

the music is "prelude to war" from BSG

[@hetsar]

@THEblack4978 They do....these are often beyond restoration and are usually for spares

[@Teeheehee555]

why doesnt anyone have the sense to repair those tanks and restore them? Those are huge tons of good history rusting away for god's sake!

[@the9thbeatle]

Tanks a lot for the video!

[@absoluteauthority08]

at 1:58 is a close up of a US M47 "patton" of korean war vintage

[@Wolfgang1224]

Really sad to see these historic machines sitting there rusting into oblivion.

[@sk1llblack]

@freebeerfordworkers That could actually be a KV i think.

[@wwmb43]

I LIKE THIS TYPE OF VIDEO THANKS!!!!

[@MrDauntess]

@xX3MINE3MXx I think its a churchill turret, when you look close you can see that its not realy attached to the sherman. The owners probably did this as a joke. :)

[@marcusvan]

Yea I'm native and thinking WTF is up with this music? I almost started dancing-LOL!!

[@sk1llblack]

@Cougar545x39 Well, if you look at the track thing protectors, does'nt a KV also have does things?

[@MrTrevisol4]

At 5:14 it's a Churchill 1 (first model)

[@michaelnaisbitt1590]

I doubt if the museum has the funds to restore more than one or two of them maybe all the rest are there for spare parts only

[@kentasxxxx]

.Look at those welds at 6.39. pure nickel but nickel should be yellow so maybe its some kind of stanless steel, right?

[@Cougar545x39]

@freebeerfordworkers Those are Conqueror ARV Mk II ;)

[@Cougar545x39]

Because they put it there (to make it look interesting i guess).

[@algarragonz]

Cool music!.

[@Canio22]

Well that Pershing didn't look like it was in to bad condition.

[@louchy]

Nothing says tank hulks without the native american flute

[@Cougar545x39]

@sk1llblack I know what you mean, but this is only a normal way of engineering, form follows function. Have a look at the Conqueror ARV Mk II on google, and you see pictures of unwrecked machines. ;) cheers

[@TheGodParticle]

Heavy metal man...

[@boerharms2209]

0:35 omg those are Tiger 1 transport tracks.. they're as rare as rocking horse sh*t

[@hagenvantronje8822]

Doesn't it make you want to get them all into a big shed then start sandblasting then a coat of zinc primer ??

[@xX3MINE3MXx]

At 2:49 is that a Sherman hull with a different turret?

[@BGWDstudios]

if any1 plays world of tanks, 2:11 looks like a vk 3601 H with a slanted front

[@wisewhelan]

whats the name of those two amphipian tracked vehical at around 5:04 to 5:12 in the vid with the us marine core markings on them?

[@lostbuffalo]

Anyone on isle of Wight knew Terrence and June Kinnane of London?

[@andyandarius]

2:50 is that a cromwell turret on a sherman chassis? o.O

[@bfmcarparts]

It would be a more interesting video if the tank enthusiast videographer had identified these 'future projects'.

[@kennethrobinson11231]

I like the music

[@lordtachanka503]

we need Andy's Hobby Headquarters to Build them XD

[@TANKCRAZY1]

why is a churchil turret on a sherman hull?

[@thegreatchimp]

What are the high slab-sided APC type vehicles at 1:28?

[@andreyvershinin2953]

hah i was going to say the same: if it's a museum why the hell is everything rusting away?

[@aguyfromsweden]

@xX3MINE3MXx yupp its a churchill turret

[@1988malo]

iwhat am i listening to, i love it

[@g2macs]

Aw! that poor Stolly.

[@canairsoftregiment]

are these for sale perhaps? or...???

[@willyford]

i bet they restore

[@Inigo93]

Does this museum actually have anything....well... worthy of presentation? Doesn't look like a museum, just looks like an interesting junkyard.

[@Kreuzfeuer666]

2:49 Sherman with Cromwell turret... should be restored, not let to rust in field. What a barbarism...

[@whiphippy1341]

What vehicle is that in 5:10? I've been in one before but have no clue what it's called

[@Infidel7153]

Looks like a Hagglunds .

[@Carnage20rv]

total lack of respect for those who fought and died operating the machines

[@crystalscan2002]

i bet some of those tanks would fire up to

[@ynnad0]

What tank was the last?

[@gazsmith621]

Oooh! Pretty!

[@killerman19880385]

sad that they never restore the tank back to the original state :(

[@tankkiller_2666]

1.49 why is there a Patton ?

[@notsogreat123]

Would be nice if there was just a little narrative !!!! To tell us what the hell were looking at ????

[@Doan84]

I feel bad for the tanks.

[@Mocking69]

実戦で使用してたモノですか？ 今では草ヒロ戦車ですね♪

[@crapvader]

couldent agree with you more!

[@Саша-э2ф5з]

скорее кладбище, а не музей

[@jobu88]

2:43 ??? Obviously a Sherman hull, but what's up with that turret?????

[@jobu88]

***** Yes I think you must be right

[@twardykamen]

looks like grizzly. www.militaryfactory.com/armor/detail.asp?armor_id=292

[@SaverioQuattrini]

Voglio adottarne uno.....che spreco tenerli li ad arrugginire.

[@WalrusDawgs]

[@USARMYMP89]

[@KR200pilot]

Go there, you'll be surprised................

[@lolknight4532]

2:14 is that a Tiger (P) hull? :O

[@itzzdustyspartan3241]

+gustav hesoun The Hull at 2:14 is a Conqueror AVRE. the museum has 2 of them.

[@seankeefe9547]

no, the Tiger P was built as a prototype. Only five completed, then they were later transformed into the Ferdinand tank destroyers which took part in the battle of Kursk.

[@athame57]

They spend all that money on a Stalwart and let it go rusty?

[@MrTrevisol4]

Lol, at first i thought it was a TOG 2

[@pixelmaster3095]

4:02 what is that tank?

[@MyvaLLLaJeho3Dpokusy]

BT-42 ? propably or Japanese Tank Chi-Nu , Chi-To or somethink like this

[@Acer8161]

Stalker ? this vechicles need new paint.

[@tinnedanger]

looks like a gunnado yard...lots of ambition but nothing done. All scrap metal.

[@Juicingood]

What a mess, More a graveyard than a museum.

[@Cougar545x39]

@thegreatchimp Conqueror ARV Mk II

[@stg4437]

[@panzerichi3837]

[@byronlloyd4211]

[@AdstarAPAD]

[@shadowhedgehog7926]

[@panzerichi3837]

[@uroskos1638]

it cant be tiger P hull

[@markholmes375]

Sorry music done my tree in.

[@mitchazr]

Sorry but if the tanks are just rusting away you can't call it a museum. Scrapyard is more appropriate.
