Workshop Apprentice Aaron Update (Patreon)

Hi Patrons,

It feels like ages since I last updated you! TANKFEST has now successfully taken place and was much enjoyed by all that attended.

I was honoured to sit where others have sat in the CVRT Scorpion, Daimler Armoured car and a Buffel and even commanded the T72 during the British Army Display. So a jam-packed weekend and a week after cleaning, packing away all the vehicles.

With only a few weeks to go until the British Summer holidays start and schools finish, we are back in the workshop, ensuring the running vehicles are good to go for the start of Tanks in Action displays.

I'm currently trying to get to the bottom of some vehicle faults. I have been working on the Churchill, which has some cooling/ overheating, carburettor fuel leaks, water pump leaking, and a rough running engine.

Due to the number of faults, we have now had to remove the engine from the vehicle to gain better access, and we are hopeful that we will get to the bottom of it and find a solution!

While managing all these deadlines, I am also awaiting a date to sit for my final exams! It's been so long, but I can't wait to be fully qualified officially.

Speak soon,
Aaron
