We need to start a petition to persuade the Tank Museum to allow David to drive the Rolls-Royce Armoured car. It is a travesty he hasn't done so yet. Like if you agree.

"It was the best tank in the world. But only because nobody else had built any." Love it.

‘They all thought the British knew what they were doing - the British didn’t, never have done!’ 😆

David Fletcher and the Rolls Royce armored car...two classics together!

Legend. So good to see him back

Hello, Tank Nuts! We hope you enjoy this week's upload with David Fletcher. Do let us know your thoughts.

Every single second is pure gold! Thank you, Mr Fletcher

Whichever tank David's stood in front of talking about, that's my favourite tank at that moment!

At Purdue University in the USA in the 80's I had a professor Rothenburg who commanded a Rolls Royce armored car in the North African desert as a young British officer in 1940-1941. He told us a story about the car and he actually liked it as a scout car.

David Fletcher always brings me a smile. Love to see him talk about his passion.

Each time is see Mr. Fletcher it make me feel like seeing a grandfather explaining things. Even i never known my grandparents.

"It's an ordinary Rolls Royce underneath.", as if any Rolls Royce could be described as ordinary! Just gotta love that man!

I do find it wonderfully endearing that the Hornsby Tractor only behaves itself when it's doing what it was intended to do and hauling something heavy.

Mr Fletcher has mentioned his admiration for the RR Armored Car before and I had a feeling it would be his top choice. He's spent enough time riding in the back, I would love to see him drive it one day.

The Rolls Royce is over a hundred years old, you can always count on it turning up, and it has done remarkably well. Just like our David Fletcher.

I would have a hard time picking five favorite tanks, but Mr Fletcher is easily my favorite tank related personality

"You can't drive it, its stuck to the floor!!!" Probably the most quotable presenter ever, anywhere. An absolute boss 🦾

Amazing to see the legend back!

I will miss Mr. Fletchers presentations of all things about tanks! His whit and knowledge will be sorely missed! Thank you, Mr. Fletcher!

Long may he live and enjoy life, our Mr. Fletcher.

The man, the moustache, the legend! 😁

All this time, I never knew David fletcher was the driver of the mark iv in the men in battle series tank episode… awesome

2:38 "Codswallop" : a word that I have admired ever since I was a kid.

Coming back to this after David announced he was retiring :(

We are fortunate to see David Fletcher with all of his knowledge and frankness. Thanks again.

that mk2 churchill really shows it's WW1 design cues. Just comparing it to later models shows how quickly they learned about modern tank design.

Always nice to see an upload from the tank museum, and even nicer to see Mr Fletcher as part of it!

The way an old British man can just trash talk you or a machine with such a straight face, such seriousness and a calm tone is just amazing to me.

Happy Easter, Tank Santa!

Ahh yes, the A1E1. The tank that the Soviets saw and went "ohh, we like it. let's 'borrow' the design." :)

I usually don't watch lists, but I did enjoy this. It revealed things like that tractor and the Rolls-Royce Armored Car that I hadn't suspected the Museum had. I do now have a minor goal of arranging a period gun for that original tractor to have in attendant display.

Always a Blessing to hear from David. Thank you!

It appears Mr Fletcher is doing well. Glad to see him in another tank chat. Always a pleasure to see him going strong.

We are very happy you DID do the Top 5! THANK YOU!!

Glad to see David Fletcher is still around.

Thank you so much for this video. Dear Mr Fletcher, I am happy to listen to your stories and comments. The way you use language, the way you tell the story - it’s just amazing. I hope to see many more films with Mr David Fletcher! The one and only!

Dear Mr. Fletcher Always a pleasure to hear you. Well done

Before watching: Centurion has got to be there... Mid-way through: Never expect Fletch to go for tanks that function well :)

I've heard so many of David's videos and they are an absolute joy to listen to. You can't describe his presentation style as polished or professional but they are and absolute joy to listen to, very informative and interested in what's being said but very matter of fact. Very much like a grandfather on a favourite topic, I'm speaking and I am going to finish regards of if you're listening or not.

Always like hearing from David. Thank you sir.

Got my Tank model kit to build, my cuppa tea made and biscuits on the side, and ready to settle in with Mr Fletcher to keep me company.

That tractors a great piece of kit and thanks for picking it as I’ve never seen or heard of em before ! And great to see the rolls I’m glad I’m not the only one with a soft spot for them

Always a joy and honor to view Mr. Fletcher's chats.

That moustache never lies. You are a rare breed Mr. Fletcher. My warmest regards.

Great episode! Lovely to see David talking about the armored vehicles that don't often get a spotlight!

Great video as always. I love all of the videos produced by The Tank Museum. However, David Fletcher's videos are my absolute favorite. I could listen to him ramble on about tanks for hours. In much the same way I could watch old videos of Fred Dibnah rambling on about steam engines.

Thank you Mr Fletcher, for your new 5, we are all indebted to you for you have done for the museum.

Great to hear from people some willing to share their passion and knowledge.

Bless you David. You're insight and experiences are fascinating listening. Enjoy your rest my friend.

Thank you, can listen to mr fletcher all day .

You know it's going to be a great video if Mr. Fletcher is standing there.

One of your best David - thank you.

Fletcher should do a video with the true tank genius, Finn the Doggo

My day is better now. Thank you! Cheers!!

Got to let The Chieftain do an inside the hatch on that independent. Would be epic - especially when he tries to stand up inside.

It's always a pleasure to see a new tank chat with David!

Always a pleasure to see Mr.Fletcher

Thank you fir all the wonderful content

Thanks for another great video!

Another very informative video from The Legend. Brilliant stuff

The king returns!!

Interesting. I know its wrong for all sorts of reasons but I've always loved that A1E1 from probably my first ever visit half a century ago.

That was very interesting, never heard of the tractor type vehicle before or the Rolls Royce Armed car, thank you David Fletcher, 👍👍.

As always informative and entertaining.

My likeness of David has just gone up another level. It shouldn't surprise me that the Silver lady is number 1 as it embodies everything British. And he shows his patriotism by choosing all British tanks. That proud stiff upper tash!

Priceless, and not just the tanks.

David Fletcher. The beating heart of these ancient machines of war.

I always loved the design of the Mark IV, with its tracks encircling the entire profile of the main body.

Man, its been a long day, this is exactly what i needed

Entertaining interesting and entertaining thanks guys !😎👍

Thank you. A most illuminating video from the master.

Fantastic list!

I saw that when it was at Beverley. And as, like David, I am a big fan of the Churchill it was quite something to see it. The also had a Comet tank as well. Which is also on my list of tanks I am a big fan off. In case you're wondering. The tanks there before David was there was a couple of Mark IVs and an FT. All of which were still in service.

great show matey.

A surprising choice for the no. 1!... But I agree, it's an interesting vehicle. And an historically important one. It was also used in the desert. I've learnt about it from one of Mr. Fletcher's books. 🙂👍

My favorite all time tank is "little Willie" because it was the Great Grand Father of all tanks and it's mentioned in a famous WW 1 song.

Mr Fletcher is a UK treasure. you are so lucky to have a man of such humble wit and insight

#3 is interesting because we have older tractors or those of similar vintage running at fairs and such here in the states

That was lovely, thank you :)

The number one . Rolls Royce armoured car . Very handy with it's truck tray . Gets my vote too ! 🙂

What makes a 'top 5 tanks' for someone is as varied as it can be. And Fletchers is as good as any. And also fun to hear too.

Thanks David. I too appreciate the Rolls-Royce armored car.

Easter morning with David Fletcher. Couldn’t be better.

I remember the Beverley Museum when I was a kid, brilliant place. It's a shopping precinct now😔

Would love to see some video of the Hornsby tractor running. There must be somebody who taped it, fingers crossed they still have it and it will be found.

Ever since I've heard David fletcher been referred as TANK JESUS on a UKposts video I can't get it out of my head🤣🤣

David Fletcher has the best personality and attitude. If I grow up to have 1/2 the character and personality of David, I will be happy.

Any time I see David I instantly get happy

i could listen to david talk all day on tanks

"Everybody seemed to think the British knew what they were doing" destroyed me, thank you Mr Fletcher and The Tank Museum. I shall be seeing you soon!

Mr Fletcher, the legend, great to see👍🏻

David Fletcher always has some great commentary

I like this man. Best of luck!

The Rolls Royce armoured car was one of my earliest kits I made for a WWI collection.

David Fletcher should be officially recognized by the British Government as a national historic treasure. Also, I particularly like the Independent, #5, just because it's so rediculus - there are lists of best and worst tanks, but there ought be lists of... Peculiar designs, methinks.

Thank you for keeping our history Mr Fletcher

David is my favorite presenter on this channel. He has the most interesting bits of information and anecdotes. You can tell he would happily talk about tanks for hours. I also enjoy the rare chance we get to have with Lindy Beige cus... its Lindy Beige. Its hard to match that level of enthusiasm and humor. I would like to see Lloyd and Squire team up and do an edutainment program... be like an educational episode of Monty Python.

The 'tasche is back!!! Long live tank king!

David has a wonderfully dry sense of humour. Keep on keeping on sir!

David Fletcher's...Top 5...British Tanks.... **Squints suspiciously at the date to see if it's the first of April**
