Tank Driving Experience Days: This is a fantastically enjoyable and utterly unique half day
experience where you get get the chance to control a fully
operational tank! Measuring 7m long and 3m high, the Chieftain
really is a phenomenal piece of engineering and some serious war
equipment! After this thrill, you can then get behind the wheel of
another of the World's finest fighting machines ... the Abbott
FV433 SPG. The fully operating swivel gun made this tank one of the
most feared in wartime, and you won't find it hard to see why!
Next up is the FV432 Armoured personnel carrier - the most common
variant since the 1960s where it was used to transporting infantry.
As if this exhilarating experience wasn't quite enough to satisfy
you, you get the added bonus of driving a tracked Stormer! It may
be smaller, but it's still huge fun exploring in this mighty
vehicle! Your knowledgeable instructor will assist you with all the
driving techniques, so you'll be amazed at how far you come!Once
you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will
begin with registration and a full safety briefing. You will have
professional instruction throughout the experience as you drive the
700hp Chieftain Tank, Abbot SPG, Armoured Personnel Carrier and the
tracked Stormer. There will be complimentary refreshments available
and at the end of the experience you will receive a certificate of
achievement to remember your day with.
