YES GET THE SHERMAN RUNNING!!!!!!!

[@plainnpretty]

I agree let’s see her running

[@johnanon6938]

Yes Please! I already wish I could visit Australia someday just to see the Ram tank, a running Sherman is always the icing on the cake.

[@markthompson8656]

AS long as you don't drive it through GEORGIA!🔥(Sherman did enough damage the first time. )

[@CGM_68]

The the M3 Grant was the mainstay of the Australian armoured forces during WWII. Until such time as you have the 3 Barn find M3's in running order, forget about the Sherman. This world doesn't need another running Sherman, honest.

[@aaronsauer6628]

get as many as possible running

[@FINNIUSORION]

Running all those historic vehicles all day and only one broke down? That's incredible. That demonstrates the skills of your employees.

[@somerandomalbinodude]

there were a few hat had some issues, on Saturday when I was mid way thru a ride in the spartan quite allot of white smoke started coming out of the engine deck, not sure what it was but it was out of action for the rest of the weekend but it was replaced buy a sabre, so not too much difference and I think the M8 greyhound also had some mechanical problems but it was back for Sunday, but its not entirely unexpected some of the vehicles are so popular they are almost running non stop so things are bound to break eventually

[@babuzzard6470]

I wouldn’t call them employees, more like devotees.

[@Perpetualnerd63]

"Our Grounds Keeper had to be sedated" LOL

[@TheBurt007]

We had planned this Father and Son trip for 4 years and we loved every minute. Such an unique museum where rare and valuable military vehicles are not just painted and polished up and put on static display, but kept in running condition, and driven through mud and dirt as they were designed - and then on top of that you also have the opportunity to actually ride onboard! Fabulous! An amazing museum and even more amazing event - it was well worth the trip over from Perth. Big thanks to Darryl, Jason, and the two twins - Phil and Nick who were all too happy to pause for a quick photo and chat. Best Regards to Jason and the team at Ausarmour. We will certainly be back Regards Brett and Riley. PS - that's us in Tiny Teddy at the 8:00 mark 🙂

[@paulosborne6517]

That was amazing... You can tell the sound of a T-34 with your eyes closed. Not because of the engine, but because of the Track-Pin Knocker next to the sprocket making that unmistakable 'clacking' sound.

[@winfieldjohnson125]

I definitely vote for the Sherman restoration!

[@kevinm3586]

A real treat to see a Ram Kangaroo running. Thanks.

[@twistydogcreations683]

You need to use the little pond in the middle for the Schimmwagon and other amphibious vehicles. Looks like a lot of fun!

[@OVH_Schultz]

They should have went for a little...schwimm. :))

[@peterlovett5841]

@@OVH_Schultz Oh where is the groan button. 😆

[@nzmarkb8713]

It’s in Cairns, there’s libel to be a crock in there 😂😂

[@mikewinkelman7015]

And yes get that Sherman fired up !!

[@MichalKaczorowski]

Yes! Make M4A1 a runner!

[@drmarkintexas-400]

🏆🤗🙏🇺🇲 Thank you for sharing

[@koalaracingfan]

I think you should get the AC1 runing that would be amazing

[@silviemcquade2034]

I'm coming next time, would love to see a AC Sentinel running. Have only seen them moved by other means or under their own steam in old AWM black and white shows. Love to see Sentinel Tank run 3 V8 Cadillac engines by Ford

[@teggy689]

I'd love to see a special episode going into a deep dive on that M36! There are not many videos of it on KZbin, not even Bovington or the Chieftain have done an episode on it.

[@tripodtodd9217]

Would absolutely love it if you guys chose to make a Workshop Wednesday series on the Sherman! It's already my top youtube fix!

[@Panuch412]

Please get that cast-hull Sherman running! I would absolotely love a Workshop Wednesday on it!

[@aussievaliant4949]

The Sherman is a must, please get it going!!!

[@itsjust_naana5000]

Love the smiles on the old fellas faces

[@markstone5597]

Sherman, Yes, getter going for sure! Mandatory item. Looks like it was a great show, love these old war horses. 🪖

[@Sawyersmaple]

It’s a Sherman need I say more? Yes! Get that sherman up and running, would love to see a series on it. Thanks for giving us a virtual ride along in so many iconic tanks.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

What a fantastic weekend it was the rides and to meet all you guys I did t mind the rain and mud it was just fantastic 😍😍😍👍👍

[@alexcken2527]

Отличное видео! У вас богатая коллекция, искренне рад за музей!

[@ulfhedtyrsson]

Excellent! My daughter needed a lullaby.

[@kenwood7656]

Nice to meet you Kurt, I enjoyed my ride in the Panther 😎.

[@thomasmaniscalco3591]

Great seeing the vehicles run. It would be nice to have a voice over or graphic introducing the vehicles. Well done AUS Armor. I love this channel.

[@dukeallen432]

Disagree. Want to hear engines. You can find info on each tank a million places.

[@peterjanssen7573]

A small graphic with the name of the vehicle would have been perfect.

[@jeffkeith637]

I'd not worry about the Sherman - there's a million of them. Unless it was an Italian front Kiwi M4A2. An 8 Rad Armoured Car, an SdKfz 222, a TE17 Staghound, Hetzer, or more Japanese vehicles that Aussies faced in the PTO.

[@---rz5th]

Well done to all Bovingdon does well in this Saumur catching up come on America.

[@dankorolyk5917]

Brilliant weekend

[@russwoodward8251]

I put on headphones for the sound. What a great accumulation of work. Stunning to think of all the hours involved representing so much dedication. Many many thanks!

[@stevemurphy795]

Great video :). Silly as it sounds, perhaps a video on getting the tanks cleaned up again and any maintenance needed afterwards to keep them in museum condition might be interesting - just a thought

[@JovianLoop]

Big job for whoever has to pressure wash them!

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Tuesday evening in the UK and I get workshop Wednesday!! no point in getting up in the morning now!! Seriously, what a fantastic collection and it's great to see so many historic vehicles running in one place

[@user-we4nb8um2q]

Bring the Sherman back to life!

[@keclonis]

I rode the Flak Panzer Gepard - What a deep growling beast !! Wonderful to see vehicles I have read about and watched for 50 years in real life. :)

[@kristoffermangila]

And makes you glad its in Cairns, and not in Ukraine.

[@Unfassbarer]

Danke!

[@megadeuz6148]

So glad you guys make these kind of videos for guys like me,who can't make it there due to lack of vacation time and distance from home to there. Love it nonetheless.

[@gazza124561]

My son and I had a ball !! we spent Friday and Saturday at the museum and even managed to get a ride on the Panzer 68 on the Saturday, what a fantastic show , we will definitely be back next year . Thank you so much to all the team at Aus Armour Museum

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

I like the panzer 2 and 3 designs. Especially 3. It has such a great look.

[@RHButler22]

Was waiting to see Jingles and Rita there.

[@jeffkeith637]

Gees that Gepard engine is meaty. Delightful. Thanks Kurt

[@Jan-hx9rw]

WOW! Would definitely like to see a Sherman restoration as a companion piece to the Grant restorations.

[@garywayne6083]

That SU-152 is a monster!

[@10947792]

Sherman! Sherman! Sherman! We want the Sherman on Workshop Wednesdays!!!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Wonderful Wonderful Amazing Video. Thank You

[@alexrandall3685]

Yes. Please get the Sherman running.

[@glitchii_uwu]

i say you guys should absolutely bring that m4a1 up to running condition, it's a beautiful tank and the more that are running, the better!

[@mikeokeefe2014]

More...more....more ....more ...such a hard working group of guys and thanks Kirk for all your hard work

[@dnbeckmann]

Have a great time, guys!

[@rustybottoms8859]

Congratulations!!!!

[@babuzzard6470]

RIGHT, that’s it! I’m coming up next year, I’m starting to plan and book now,been to cairns two or three times and missed this every time. Great job and display everyone involved.

[@richardwelch4457]

I'm hoping to one day come to Australia from the U.S. during Armor Fest. It looks like a blast.

[@corpnut2906]

this so on my bucket list. I have a good friend down south that wants to go with me when I come over. Gonna start looking for next year. Well done all. Oh please get the Sherman going again my number one favorite tank of all time and doesn't matter what varient.

[@mattcarroll3469]

When I retire I'm moving Cairns and going to volunteer at the Armour Museum

[@MultiClarkekent]

My best friend and myself made the trip up to Cairns and attended on Friday and Saturday! We were blown away with the number and variety of vehicles and pieces in the museum .The Panther is awesome! Thank you to all the staff , it was very well organized and everyone really friendly and helpful and even got to meet Bow.We will be coming back next year!

[@fredfarnackle5455]

Wow! Great to see them out and being driven.😎👍

[@conorduggan6682]

If I ever get to Australia, I'll have to go up north and visit this museum.

great to see the newly completed grant out on the track The detroit in that apc is a beatiful sound

Now, I have another place to go and see

[@maxcorey8144]

I will never be able to visit your museum in person. I am happy you make these videos so I can see it from where I am (Alaska).

[@iansinclair7581]

What a brilliant idea for the public. Lots of smiles. I’d pay for that. Bovington take note, look at the smiles.😊

[@peterjames9610]

I went to the workshop on the Monday before and was gobsmacked by the collection, at every turn I saw something that I had only previously dreamed about, the authentic displays, the panzers, the quad 50 and the battle damaged bits of armour just blew me away, oh and starting the T34 up was icing on the cake. Highly recommend it to anyone.

[@michaeldarby3503]

The mind boggles at the $s tied up in armour.

[@glenchaffey8834]

Hi Aus Armour crew, what a memorable 3 days for us, we had an absolute awesome time, rode on some tanks and even stared in this video. 😁 Another highlight was meeting Kurt and Beau and discussing welding techniques on Armour plate. Also would love to see a tour of the Chaffee tank from Jason or even better see it running for Armour fest 2024. Regards Glen Peter & Catherine.

[@ryleeculla5570]

It’s a shame that the tiger tank isn’t in these events but it’s not easy to find a engine for the tiger tank let alone the parts of such a rare engine

[@matt18333]

From memory of a conversation I had with one of the guys there it's proving quite difficult to get either the swing arms or torsion bars for for it. They don't want to but maybe have to manufacture the parts. Also no plans to run a Maybach but rather a more conventional diesel (Unless one appears somewhere)

[@paoloviti6156]

​@matt18333 I really wonder how many of those very rare Maybach HL 230 P45 engine and Olvar gearboxes are still laying around in the mud. It would be an extremely expensive proposition unfortunately...

[@TheBurt007]

Talking with the twins - they say most parts have or were being sourced, and yes it will eventually be a runner, but not with original power plant.

[@yattaran1484]

What an awesome experience to be able to ride on tanks !. This festival must be a Dream Fes for all Tank lovers around the world ! 😄👍

[@jfro5867]

Yea deffo that Sherman! From England.👍

On my bucket list now

[@Roulandus-le-Fartere]

Didn't know there was an M36 Jackson in the collection...that alone is worth the trip!

[@GoodForYou4504]

Getting the Sherman going would be so cool! I know you have the awesome Firefly, but a series rebuilding a regular version would definitely get a lot of views! 👏👍

[@patchmack4469]

pretty damn stunning stuff - and the rain made it so much better, although i have to say to make things even better for both your visitors and the museum etc - it be real cool to have an area cordoned off for photo shoots, its a real bonus to be able to get shots with nothing civilian or 20th century around, perfect for any model enthusiasts drive a tank round your grounds and line up for some descent photos without all the modern clutter, fencing, mine tape, traffic cones etc, just natural foliage would be perfect - shows i used to attend had great setups, vehicles with authentic kit laying about, tents for backdrops etc, not unlike a re-enactment set, nothing worse than having images of great tanks and a marshal stood by wearing a high vis vest - what an epic event down under

[@ronbeckhaus7326]

Fantastic effort by the Aus Armour team. Well done all and congratulations on a great armourfest. Definitely get the Sherman going, and further to that, have you folks considered using a surplus Grant, statically restored and cut away to give visitors an inside view, maybe with manikins as crew, to show how cramped the inside is during battle?

[@jilthunder2276]

It almost hurts seeing these incredible expensive machines move on mud / dirt tracks... but I understand, why you do it, of course :)

[@waynebenedict5785]

Sherman! Yes please!

I WANNA GO SO BADLY!!!!!
