The Red Arrows have departed, the tension is building........
The tea has been poured and the clotted cream is spread.....
You've been on the edge of your seats waiting for this one. How many tanks can you load on a C-17?
See the 315th Airlift Wing as they attempt a new world record for the greatest number of tanks loaded on a C-17. The existing record stands at: ONE. Will they beat it? Thrill to the sights and sounds of a new Armortek Adventure, starring:
Chris Hall as the AirLoadmaster
Denny Patterson as the guv'nor
Steve Stuart on cream teas
David Battson as the crowd
Aircrew of the 701st Airlift Squadron, 315th Airlift Wing, USAF ARES as newbie tank drivers
The lady in the green dress as herself
and a cast of thousands of curious bystanders, not to mention... the C-17 herself.
Yeovilton, July, 2017 and the adventure begins.....

Re: Armortek Airmobile Armo(u)r
And you forgot to list yourself as 'visiting 1* General' .....
I think the Proud American Lady counts as more than just one ...... I just knew fitting that animatronic girl tank commander would pay dividends !
Next year we might go for an age record as well - if I get my finger out I might have two Mark IV's there, and if Steve brings his as well .... the biggest age range between the load and the transport ?
An amused,
Chris
