Tank Driving Experiences
Taking a tank driving experience is something that you are unlikely to forget in a hurry. It is not something that you get to do everyday, well, unless you are a tank driver in the army or something but for arguments sake we will take an educated guess that you aren’t!
Anyway, on tank driving experiences you will get to do various different things and can vary depending on which experience you book. A highlight for many would be to drive over car in a tank and crush it, view some of our “Crushing cars in Tanks videos” to let that wet your appetite, there isn’t really much more to say with regards to that one that the videos won’t do a better job of showing!
Some of the tank driving experiences let you take in a range of different military vehicles so you may get to drive a Chieftain Tank, Abbot SPG (self-propelled field gun), APC(Armoured Personnel Carrier) & quad bikes (yes hardly what you want to be dodging bullets or bombs on in a war but they are amazing fun to drive).
Many of your instructors on the day will be ex Forces and may have served in the Gulf War and so you will no doubt get to hear many real life stories about what these tanks are like to drive out in real world combat while stacked with live ammo!
There will be time to take pictures and videos and if you bring a spectator along with you you can set them up to do all the photography work for you so you can just sit back and relax (well, not really) as you drive the tanks, if you notice your cameraman (or woman) not paying attention you have a big long gun on the front of the tank that will soon get their mind back on the job!
Your day may be a half day or a full day depending on what you have chosen, obviously the longer the day the more tank driving you are going to get to try. You will be part of a group so the tank driving does mean you all have to take turns but there is so much more to experiencing the tanks than just doing the driving, being sat in and on or watching provides absolutely superb fun and entertainment!
Now, Let battle commence…!
