For over 50 years this WW2 Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank has never run properly… until now. Powered by a massive Bedford twin-6 flat 12 engine producing 350HP, this rare British war machine has fought us every step of the way. Misfires, dead cylinders, endless fault finding and a full week of problems nearly made us give up completely. But right at the end something unbelievable happened… 🔥 Will we finally get this historic tank running perfectly on all 12 cylinders again for the first time in decades Book your tickets to the show ⬇️ https://omhevents.co.uk

"The only pleasure I can take out of this is the knowledge that the man who designed this is dead'.
Absolute lad figuring out the timing was fucked.
Wow what a marathon of forensic investigation. They never give up and the result is outstanding. Well done Ted!
If you noticed the direction Ted was laying down, it was a clear of the correct timing of the distributor. Thanks Ted.
What a marathon brain fukcing timing set up....... when it finally fired on all 12 my kids stood up and applauded the laptop.... I think you finally showed the younger generation what perseverance actually looks like, They had absolutely invested themselves in this mission to get this tank running without knowing anything about engines. Awesome work to all of you...except Ted... he gave up early... no biscuits !!
well done to your pal he deffo knows his stuff should give him a shout out .
Telling Jack to crank it seems risky.
Thats a proper old skool mr hewes episode 😅
The original Churchill needed a whiskey and a cigar to get going, I would've tried that first.
I was so immersed in this episode I swear I could smell exhaust fumes by the end. Stellar job lads.
Well done for sticking at it and what a good decision to bring in your mate.
Bloody brilliant boys, I'd love to see the outtake video of all the swearing and throwing of tools 😂👍
As an 81 year old , I thoroughly enjoyed all that, thanks lads.
Started watching for the tank, stayed for the endless troubleshooting and determination. Great video! 💪
" All you have to do..." speak to Steve at Aus Armour ...lol
Joe, you and the guys had a tough week; it's great to know what a properly running Churchill sounds like. Cheers from the USA!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bloody brilliant video…Ted did a great job of calling the Points guy in to sort it out!
16:32 Jack being the calm voice of reason... Somethings happened.
"I love the smell of easy start in the morning"
Loved the perseverance and patience interspersed with super innuendos 😂😂 humour how it should be - and fabulous that you never gave up kudos to you x😊
