Hi all

Got put onto this by a friend and although I see it's a repeat from 2013 I missed it first time around.

It focuses on the Fifth Royal Tank Regiment, with interviews of six men who served with it. I've only watched the first episode and whilst there's nothing particularly new for those in the know on the campaign/combat side, the personal stories do add a little something and Junior seemed to enjoy it. They also got some help from Bovington as they had some surviving vehicles running around what looks like the arena.

BTW, there's only four weeks left before it drops off iPlayer.

Yeah, I watched the first episode and have recorded the second. Really enjoyed it, very informative and I love all the period film clips...

I agree with Nick. I also found a lot of resource material for effective weathering on the AFV's.
