I couldn’t imagine being one the crew inside that tank with all those hits. It would be hard to recover from that sensory overload. Not to mention the fact that they managed to drive it out of the jaws of hell.

Thanks for sharing Wayne :thumbup: only seen a picture of 231 before.

I would have replied earlier, but I got side tracked with about 20 videos, one after another :{ thanks YouTube and your video suggestions. . . .

Fascinating. I guess that when the heat goes up you just get on with what you are trained to do whatever else is happening. No time to consider your options, get scared and run? They must have been deaf for quite a while after it had ended too. It's a shame the hull went awol.
