Dig WW2 with Dan Snow

Post by silversurfer1947 »

Originally scheduled for last week when it was replaced by Tankies, it was shown at 7pm BBC 2 tonight. If you persevere, there is a piece about the Churchill, including a few seconds of what is said to be the only operating Churchill in the world. I guess you can pick it up on iPlayer. There are 3 more episodes in total, 2 this week, at 7pm, BBC 2 Tuesday and Wednesday.

Good afternoon,
This might be the same footage but I will throw it up to hopefully provide some extra fun:

Same tank I think, different footage.

I posted a link to this Churchill a few years ago. It's fully functional in the clip, and brings the latent temptation to have one, in 1/16, very much to the fore (either the DKLM RTR model, or a Ludwig kit). :D
Thanks for the tip, Richard! I don't bother looking at TV schedules these days, and would have missed this. :thumbup:

or, here's direct link to the video:

The finished look confirms that all that restoration effort was well worth it. :thumbup:
