Tankfest 2026 is over… what a fantastic weekend!
Massive thanks to an awesome team for making it such a great event. Getting to drive Deborah 2, the replica WW1 Mk IV tank, at The Tank Museum alongside my dad is definitely a memory that will stay with me for a long time.
The steering is now working flawlessly hours and hours of thinking, researching and making custom parts. Your’ll all see in a video very soon!
Now it's time to head home tomorrow… and then it's back to ChAVRE, ChAVRE, and more ChAVRE! 💪🚜

Trouble with a tank is if you drive it to the petrol station to fill up, you'll need to fill it up again halfway home! 😂

So instead, we've brought the petrol station to the tank... well, almost.
Just a quick fuel stop for the Centurion while on the low-loader. ⛽🚛💨
