It made a loud bang and it frightened the life out of people. A true master of the English language.

I'm 55 years old and I have books that I've had since I was a teen that were written by David Fletcher. He must be immortal.

David Fletcher is the David Attenborough of tanks.

A tank chat with David Fletcher on a Saturday morning! What could be better

[matthayward]

Three things I admire about Mr Fletcher: his knowledge, his understatement, and, of course, the ‘stache.

Legend!

When I was a boy there was a Comic book The Haunted Tank . The tank was a Stuart and the tank commander was named after General Jeb Stuart . The Ghost of the General would communicate with the tank commander and get him out of tough spots and always helped him knock out Tiger tanks from the rear 👍👍👍

I missed this one 4 years ago. Thanks for re-posting it and thanks to David for narrating. The Stewart looks like a really handy little tank in tight spots. Cheers from Canada :-)

That 37 also fired a canister round, very effective against unarmored targets. I have never seen any information on what that did to the barrel, if anything.

When the man speaks I shut up and listen. You should give him a glass of what he drinks and let him wonder. I'd watch that even if it were 3 hours long

Subtitles are brilliant, 'the lat gonna sits next to the driver' was my favourite.

(4:14) Mr. Fletcher is truly a master of understatement. I can imagine that it certainly _was_ an "undignified scramble" when trying to get out of a burning tank! ;)

Such a pleasure to learn from a true expert in his field I'm helping an old mate restore his second Stuart ATM it was the first tank I ever drove .

My Grandpa drove this tank in the Africa and Italy Campaigns. Had 3 of them knocked out, lost several Commanders, but he was able to make it all the way home. I wouldnt be able to fit in the drivers seat of it myself, you had to be under 6ft they wanted guys around 5'5-5'8 from what I was told. I dont know how the heck he made it, but im so thankful he did. Miss you Grandpa.

David Fletcher MBE - Moustache of the British Empire, a 'tash so epic, it has it's own award.

[michaelmorris]

America: designs a pretty ok light tank

Germany: haha, cute, but we can handle it

America: builds 22, 000 of them

Germany: Ein Minute

Great tank chat as usual, love the tanks that fought in the desert war, as it brings back memories of reminiscing with my father .

[knightmarethest]

Great video! We miss you Mr. Fletcher.
