David Fletcher's Tank Chats #4

The Tank Museum just uploaded a new video with the best historian grandpa, David Fletcher MBE.
This time he talks about the Vickers Armstrongs Type E:


Have to confess, I like to play David Fletcher talking about tanks on my mobile as a lullaby to fall asleep. And before I get misunderstood, it's not because is boring, I do it for the exact opposite reason.

    1. I listen to the first Dutch radio station. They keep talking and talking about politics, sports and other random news. Quite interesting, but good to fall asleep with too.

  3. Damnit, why can't I do this as a job? I specialise in putting people to sleep with droning lectures on military subjects.

    1. It's an award called 'The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire', there are a few different types but MBE and OBE are the most common. In the most basic terms it's a commemorative award for excellence in fields not covered by other awards, like television and radio programming or community service.
