Get ready for this military driving extravaganza as you drive a FV432 armoured personnel carrier.
This is an armoured personnel carrier designed to carry 10 troops into battle. Weighing in at 12 tons, this beast is powered by a
6.9 Rolls-Royce K60 engine, which provides a thrilling ride.
Next up on the menu is the
Abbott Gun Tank, 17.5 Tonnes of military muscle that can fire a 105mm Howitzer over nine miles.
The main event is a session driving a 55 Ton
Chieftain MBT (main battle tank). Feel the power of this multi-fuel 2 stroke engine!
To steer this 19 litre, 6 cylinder, supercharged tank, you will pull on two sticks called Tillers and to change gear you will use a foot operated controller.
This Tank was the mainstay of the British Army for over 30 years. It makes mincemeat of anything in its path and is still highly regarded by armies around the world.
A truly memorable experience!
