    Your best ever episode! Even better than 'getting the engine out of my house'.
    The sheer power of the tanks. Their weight. Then Jack's words of wisdom 'If I believe what's going on in my head' and nails the tank manoeuvre only to suffer the indignity of completely getting the turret move wrong. Your team work. You slipped the safety ring onto the engine trolley and Jack put the safety pin in. Morecambe and Wise would envy your timing.
    The detailed explanation of inspecting and removing the engine and the totally unexpected arrival of 'Jackaline' in his/her/them's' high heels made a very serious emgineering operation comedy gold.
    Well done. Keep it up lads!

Anyway welcome back to the fold Jack, you were missed, if only because, you went off with a spanner, (Oh, sorry, someone called you a spanner, misunderstood the conversation). Nice piece for work getting that T piece off, and the bolts out of the flywheel, and Joe for his skill with the telehandler too. Nice to see the team back to full strength and in good heart.

    It's almost like a recovery tank should have a reel of 'Hawser' inside, perhaps with a little engine so you can decide how much ';hawser' protrudes. I imagine adjusting that could be hazardous and result in some wincing. The commander could shout "WINCING" when he wanted to driver to reduce the amount protruding.
