My husband has ploughed around the 432 for many years and remembers it running. He towed it to the road for your collection and is very much looking forward to seeing it fully restored
Happy new year Joe.keep making the great videos.when the war in Ukraine is won you should go there. You will find lots of new projects in the hedgerows. God bless you and your crew.🎉
Great job as always. This channel is so well balanced in people terms. It’s important that the whole team regularly appear and it’s why you are doing so well on CZcams. Don’t change a thing (apart from plenty more great content). Happy New Year.
I have to admit this has got to be the best tank repair videos for all old tankies, looking forward to next years repairs and reports, enjoy the new year, I'm here on standby,
Thanks for an awesome year of content, probably my favorite new channel to follow this year. You lot are both hard working people who seem to mostly know what you're doing😂 and also funny to watch, have laughed a lot this year and looking forward to laughing more next year🎆 Mr Hewes aviation with your banter was absolutely brilliant btw, I learned so much 👌
Excellent as always . Being an knackered old fart that I am , and ex military to boot you bring back memories of the fun we had and the shit we used to get up too when i was a lot younger . Your Humor and banter is right up my street. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL from sunny Gibraltar
Happy Christmas and Happy new year to you all! Many thanks for all the videos during the year! Love all your work over past 12 months. The FODEN is the Star for me 🤩 look forward to more in 2024🎉
been following this channel for a good 7-8months now and its always a pleasure to watch. you all have fun and get work done and share it with us bunch of weirdos on the internet. the main thing is you are saving old pieces of history and keeping stuff alive.
Can't pick a fav video, there all to bloody good :) Can't wait for next year to see some more things that you guys get up to.... Hope you and your family and friends have a good one.
My favorite video was the announcement video for the restoration of SPUD, the FV4005. Seeing it being moved from the spot it had been sitting for years, on its way to get a proper restoration job was such an exciting thing to see, and even more exciting for just how quickly the money goal for its restoration was reached! Looking forwards to more of SPUD's restoration videos and any others really.
Not made a comment before, not sure why, but I thought I'd get the NYR started early this year! Hope you all had a great Christmas and that 2024 brings success and more mad shenanigans. As far as favourite video........all of them, because you're all my kind of crazy!
As an 'ole-timer' your UT vids are a masterpiece in showing young and old what it is to keep these old girls working. Happy New Year and well done and looking forward to your 2024. :)
Came into this channel quite late on, binged watched all the videos, absolutely brilliant. Really enjoy the content and the comedy, keep doing what you're doing, roll on 2024 👍💪
Happy New Year Team! Love the "Top Gear meets Tanks" vibe I get from these videos. New Sub here so I've been binge watching for a few days. My fav videos are all the ones with the casual banter mixed in with learning how tanks are put together. Hope you guys have a safe and happy 2024. I'll be watching along.👍🤣👌
Love this channel!!! I have nothing but respect for all your hard work, matter of fact seems everything you do is hard work. A true labor of love. Thank you. Happy new year.
Loved all the videos this year hard to choose the best , but all the Stolly episodes, & the Chieftain ARV rescue on the plain were really cool I just hope you get to have it at the workshop for restoration 🎉🎉🎉🎉
All the best from an ex REME trained Tank Mech old school (Chieftain), love what you chaps do and im jealous as i know only get to work on Volvo Heavy Plant equipment if i lived closer to you lot id definitely be stalking your place ;).
Thank you for all the joy, banter and engineering details throughout the year - long may it continue. Be well, stay safe and thank you for sharing. PS. …probably launching the Stolly in the ‘pond’
When I was young I watched the BBC , now I am old I don't and don't want to watch the BBC we all know why that is . BUT now I am older I watch something that is STILL very British , very entertaining , and make me laugh and makes me feel happy . Your channel doesn't ever disappoint , and if you have people that complain please tell them to go elsewhere - go find something else to do , if you know what I mean .😊
Bigger yard needed me thinks to help the Fodden get stuff in the sheds. Good solid workhorse but needs a bit of room to help get stuff turned, would be harder without the assistance of the 360 digger. As for the door, think of the height of the biggest thing that might be ever worked on by your team, add a 'little' bit for good measure then no problems. Happy new year to the team and hope to see more good work and no doubt a few antics too (wouldn't be the same without them!).
Mmm up to a point Lorf Cropper. This particular vehicle may have been used in an Ambulance capacity (hence the big red cross on the front) but:- . The 'family', the 432 (I suppose more correctly the FV432 ) belongs to, were all built on the FV430 chassis By far the largest section of this'family' were 432s (the APC variant if you like). Whilst there were some specific variants that used the 430 chassis, most were 432s but converted with 'install kits' according to role (this was easily done). My brother drove a version of a 432 (that was outfitted with maps. more radios etc this was used as "the boss' " command centre (NOT a 435 just a 432 with maps and radios)..
My favourite videos of the year are the ones where the shop foreman is cracking the whip with his serene yet regal nature. If I could give Ted a raise I would!
ima just put it out there. the best video ive seen this year of yours, and the whole of youtube to be frank, has got to be the part of the stolly video where you throw the fire extinguisher at the fire on the exhausts... f*****g comedy gold. your videos have made this year just that little bit more fun. thank you Hewes and team
Thank you for this year hope next year goes amazing. My favourite videos are the engine starts the black and white videos and the recovery videos. Merry Christmas and an awesome new year 👍🤞👏🎉🌧🚜🛫.
Thanks for posting your videos over this year. Really enjoyable. Hope you all have a happy new year and look forward to seeing your new videos next year 👍
Been there and done that on a centurion in that kind of weather. In fact even worse. So I know your pain and sympathise to a point. You can just stop and get out of the weather where as we could not. But it does bring back memories. Thanks and Happy New Year.
Too difficult to choose a favourite, but we look forward to every video... Market Harborough was a top watch, if I could only choose one. Excellent to see these big old pieces of engineering romping about. Good luck to you all again this year.
I used to drive bulldogs (432) until recently as my battalion has moved over from armoured infantry to mechanised infantry. I could make my vehicle go anywhere and keep up with Warriors, of course, that's when it worked and we could actually have the spare parts. good times all the same.
Love your content, knowledge humor and skill. And you are keeping historical vehicles going …..all positive qualities in my book have a happy new year and I look forward to your first video 😀
Want to wish all of you lads a happy New Year and the lady too. Looking ahead to be seeing more videos and more merriment whilst working on the projects. Cheers to all.
Happy New Year to you all, another brilliant series of videos for 2023, looking forward to 2024 and the next events taking place under the directorship of Mr. Hewes.
Thanks for your videos, great fun to watch and your banter is amazing, The good old 432 takes me back to my army days where i was a driver of them would love to own one but alas far too expensive. keep up the great work and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all.
Enjoyed your video very nice seemed like everybody was having a good time even though it’s raining shit and it’s muddy and it’s nasty just like everything you guys work on is muddy and it’s nasty or it’s dusty got a great crew y’all get along real good I hope to watch more of your videos stay safe don’t get hurt don’t drink too much this holiday gift thanks for everything you’ve gotten and everything you’re going to get I hope your parts lines Stay fulfilled I hope you find as much parts you can get for your vehicles enjoy see you all next year happy new year😊
I only started watching your videos probably mid 2023. Watched every single one and some of your older ones. Really enjoying them! Looking forward to see what you will do in 2024. Also, I'm a lazy bastard. I'd love to see a video of you quickly walking around showing everything you have right now. I don't have the time to go back and watch everything :(
Impossible to choose a favourite when I enjoy each and eveyone of your videos. I do especially enjoy content where Ted features prominently - that dog is a saint; with all the 'sub-optimal' examples of behaviour that surround him, he is always the impeccable gentleman.
Happy newyear to you all. Keep the vids comming. Whe love it here in the Netherlands. Whe also have some tanklovers down here. Iam sure you know Mastermilo.
Nice work! Love the "Claire de Lune" atmospheric background. If that weather keeps up, you could dust off 'The Sunken Cathedral" and ,maybe start shopping for a DUKW LVT4, or perhaps a Pt-76?
To answer the question of what was my favourite video and why, well, that one where you lads acquired that neat little yellow crane. I saw it being used in a later video that came after it, so it must have been a good investment.
Happy new year guys. Definitely looking forward to next year and seeing some of these projects finished. Also see what else comes along. All the best for new year 🎉🎉
Sitting here in Australia, low 30's C, sucking on a beer, I don't feel envious of your weather at all. Happy New Year to all not sure how you top that lot next year.
Love all your videos mate can’t wait for next year 👌 you have some of the best content on CZcams so many people want to see in depth details of these old machines and you don’t fail to provide at all ! Brilliant stuff 😁
Nice to see quality improving but not getting in the way of the banter, voice overs to have clear audio on segments were it matters is a nice addition as well as the inclusion of the 3d model video. Cheers and to another good year.
Damn, you scared the shit out of me... love your video's man but also like to hear more of the story, why are u doing this, what happens with most of the equipment you restore etc... greeting from Holland and happy new year !
Happy new year guys. Been binge watching your content, i used to work for a chap that did the same kind of thing but he only had the one battery to start most of his vehicles and i was the sucker taking the battery out of the forklift to start the tractor. My missus is an avid viewer now, she remembers the days Keep up the good work All the best for 2024
I have no mechanical or engineering background but the things you guys bring back to life is amazing, always a fascinating and humorous watch. HNY to you all.
Hope you wasn’t fooled by the title 🤣 My last video for this year! Hope everyone is ready for another year of us lot and most importantly TED !
Ted is a rock star and makes every show.
That's what she said
Employee of the year is Ted.
I thought this was the last ever video 😂 I’d check the battery isn’t flat first
U wa*nker. Got me there
A bigger workshop is definitely needed in 2024. Or bigger doors.
Or more send.
Nah. Just let some air out of the tyres next time ;)
4005 with turret might cause slight issues with the door
It's a very British workshop at the moment
@@wilkybarkidI see what u did there....
Finally a youtuber that respects his audience. Most of us have already watched all your videos so we don't need a compilation video.
Thanks for the heart attack with that title 😭
I love your tank content, no one shows tank guts and interiors as well as you.
Keep it up!
Oh, I don't know about that. Ukrainian NLAW and Javelin operators seem to do a pretty good job!
@@DraftySatyr 🤣
What a clickbait!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you, family and a whole team!! Thank you for your hard work and the tank videos 🎉
🤣🤣
My husband has ploughed around the 432 for many years and remembers it running. He towed it to the road for your collection and is very much looking forward to seeing it fully restored
Happy new year Joe.keep making the great videos.when the war in Ukraine is won you should go there. You will find lots of new projects in the hedgerows. God bless you and your crew.🎉
Thank you all for the joy you’ve brought this year. Terrific stuff, hope success doesn’t change you. This is great content 👌
Happy New Year folks! I hope the next is better than the last!
Your mum is actually the new year
Great job as always. This channel is so well balanced in people terms. It’s important that the whole team regularly appear and it’s why you are doing so well on CZcams. Don’t change a thing (apart from plenty more great content). Happy New Year.
Great video. The biggest unsung hero here, has to be Tay, putting up with everyone's s**t and giving us great camera work! :)
I have to admit this has got to be the best tank repair videos for all old tankies, looking forward to next years repairs and reports, enjoy the new year, I'm here on standby,
Thanks for the great videos this year, this is one of my favourite channels, I amazed how hard you guys work. Have a great new year!

One of my first jobs as a REME mechanic was changing 43 series cracked steering unit drums at 7 armoured workshops.
That foden is a beast and sounds epic hope you Joe and the rest of the team had a good christmas. Wishing you all happy new year.
Happy Christmas and Happy new year to you all! Many thanks for all the videos during the year! Love all your work over past 12 months. The FODEN is the Star for me 🤩 look forward to more in 2024🎉

It was almost as wet as Op Market Harborough shifting the Cent ARV. Looking forward to watching next year's projects.

Great work there team, now put your trotters up and relax over New Year
The rain and the mud gives off Soltau vibes. Looking forwards to all next years projects.
Happy New Year. May all your projects go flawlessly. (Well mostly) Looking forward to more on the F405
Thank you for all the joy, banter and engineering details throughout the year - long may it continue. Be well, stay safe and thank you for sharing.

Ironically, the 432 is a medical vehicle. It looks sick.
Mmm up to a point Lorf Cropper.

That rain looks like it sucks. Being from Southern Arizona, we don't see too many rainy work days. Here's Hoping you boys get some dryer weather.
73
I'd be rooted doing repairs over there without a shed...unlike sunny Queensland Australia,where it(whatever) gets fixed in the paddock
Thank you for this year hope next year goes amazing.
My favourite videos are the engine starts the black and white videos and the recovery videos.
Merry Christmas and an awesome new year 👍🤞👏🎉🌧🚜🛫.
Poncho's are brilliant when your constantly in and out of the rain..
Great show people,you are all a great bunch and the setting is better than a movie.All the best for the new year-cheers Andy (New Zealand) 10:48
Thanks for posting your videos over this year. Really enjoyable. Hope you all have a happy new year and look forward to seeing your new videos next year 👍
The urban camouflage Chieftain, never heard of that camouflage before.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel from various other CZcams restoration videos.
Been there and done that on a centurion in that kind of weather. In fact even worse. So I know your pain and sympathise to a point. You can just stop and get out of the weather where as we could not. But it does bring back memories. Thanks and Happy New Year.
Thank you for all efforts. Great to see the quality work you do.
Too difficult to choose a favourite, but we look forward to every video... Market Harborough was a top watch, if I could only choose one. Excellent to see these big old pieces of engineering romping about. Good luck to you all again this year.
Love all the videos not easy to choose favorite. Happy new year to you all from Thailand.
Like the honest, grafters craic and the work and expertise and pure determination to do your work. Happy New Year to all and your families.
I used to drive bulldogs (432) until recently as my battalion has moved over from armoured infantry to mechanised infantry.
I could make my vehicle go anywhere and keep up with Warriors, of course, that's when it worked and we could actually have the spare parts. good times all the same.
My favorite vids were the T34 Engine tear down videos, hoping to see you get that thing back together in the new year! Cheers!🍻🍻🍻
Love your content, knowledge humor and skill. And you are keeping historical vehicles going …..all positive qualities in my book have a happy new year and I look forward to your first video 😀
thank you very much for good entertainment. 👍🤗👍🇸🇯
Favourite video is all of them. Have a great new year team. Looking forward to the fun and frolics of 2024
Happy new year to all , you and your team have made an average year a LOT better
Want to wish all of you lads a happy New Year and the lady too. Looking ahead to be seeing more videos and more merriment whilst working on the projects. Cheers to all.
Thanks guys & gal! Always know your new vids are going to be enjoyable & informative. Please continue & blessings to all in the year to come🙏🏻

I have enjoyed the adventures of you and your mates with these mechanical monsters looking forward to next years offerings till then seasons greetings
Never know what we will get on each video. But that montage at the end speak volumes for the variety of this channel. Happy New Year! Good boy Ted!
A brilliant 2023... Thank you, and see you in the new year.
Happy newyear to you all.
Keep the vids comming.
Whe love it here in the Netherlands.
Whe also have some tanklovers down here.
Iam sure you know Mastermilo.
Can't wait to see you all in the New Year. Stay safe n have some fun(as always). The Ole Fella from Downunda Greg.
I’ve been watching you since the “why won’t it start 34/85 episode 1” video.
Your videos make me feel so inspired to restore old vehicles.🙂❤
Thanks for your great films and good luck in the new year
Happy New Year and thanks for all the fun and games of 2023.
Nice work!
Love the "Claire de Lune" atmospheric background.
If that weather keeps up, you could dust off 'The Sunken Cathedral" and ,maybe start shopping for a DUKW LVT4, or perhaps a Pt-76?
Awesome guys, gals and Ted! Looking fwd to 2024. Your videos take me back to my youth as a member of the Canadian 1st Hussars Militia.
Lovely UK weather mucking everything up.
Great year. Merry Christmas. Wishing you all a productive New Year. Thanks for your entertainment & interesting content.
Brilliant channel ! Happy New Year to all of you!🎉🎈🌟
To answer the question of what was my favourite video and why, well, that one where you lads acquired that neat little yellow crane. I saw it being used in a later video that came after it, so it must have been a good investment.
I have no real favorite...each one has your funny banter and everyday practical man approach to solving issues. Love them all
Happy healthy new year and the best video when you were on the ranges towing a tank that every one said it could not be towed out
That was a fun day!
Happy new year gents. Thanks for all the videos :)
Happy new year guys. Definitely looking forward to next year and seeing some of these projects finished. Also see what else comes along. All the best for new year 🎉🎉
Sitting here in Australia, low 30's C, sucking on a beer, I don't feel envious of your weather at all. Happy New Year to all not sure how you top that lot next year.
Happy 2024 guys...!!! Cheers from Canada...!
Happy new year I’m looking forward to the new videos in the new year
Love all your videos mate can’t wait for next year 👌 you have some of the best content on CZcams so many people want to see in depth details of these old machines and you don’t fail to provide at all ! Brilliant stuff 😁
Happy New Year from Australia to you blokes - and Ted!
Happy and a prosperous New Year to you and all your team who make these fantastic videos, and a specially happy new year to my favourite dog, Ted
Happy New Year to all the team and many more videos. Thanks Ted!
Last one of the year and some great Foden on tank action. Thanks for a great 2023 of videos.
Nice to see quality improving but not getting in the way of the banter, voice overs to have clear audio on segments were it matters is a nice addition as well as the inclusion of the 3d model video. Cheers and to another good year.
Damn, you scared the shit out of me... love your video's man but also like to hear more of the story, why are u doing this, what happens with most of the equipment you restore etc... greeting from Holland and happy new year !
Happy new year guys. Been binge watching your content, i used to work for a chap that did the same kind of thing but he only had the one battery to start most of his vehicles and i was the sucker taking the battery out of the forklift to start the tractor. My missus is an avid viewer now, she remembers the days
Keep up the good work
All the best for 2024
Happy New Year! From Virginia, where it is slightly dryer!
Happy New Year and take care of my old office
I have no mechanical or engineering background but the things you guys bring back to life is amazing, always a fascinating and humorous watch. HNY to you all.
a good and healthy 2024,curious to see what you f*ck up/get done next year ;-)
Love the video's 😎👍
