Experience the fun and excitement of
tank driving in a genuine 17 tonne
tank with a 40mm cannon. The FV432 is a multi-roll track vehicle which has always been the squaddies favourite.
When you arrive for your
Tank Driving Taster, you will be introduced to the team and be given a briefing covering the history of the vehicle and the safety issues involved with
driving a tank. Next you are issued with military overalls and a helmet so that you look like a soldier.
The first time you
drive the tank you will have your head out of the hatch so that you get familiar with how the
tank drives. Having gained some confidence you will be driving the
tank looking only through the periscopes as if you were in a battle situation.
There are a variety of challenging terrain and courses to drive over set in an old World War II bombing range.
