Finally have a working Petard that I am happy with. ( For now ). That is 15 meters in the video, but can be fired up to about 30 meters .

Trying to get some idea on how the weight is going to affect the Churchill. The bridge is not complete but should not be a lot heavier. May have to add some weight to the rear of the tank.

Hi David

Well done, that's going to be impressive when its finished. And to think I was worrying about the weight of the derrick on the front of mine :D
Looking forward to more photos as it progresses.
