Tank Nuts

I chat with the incredible Mr. Rich Fisher one of the director's of the Vickers MG & Research Association whose goal is to inform and educate the publics knowledge of the Vickers machine gun's role in military history. 

Join me for this incredible journey into historical research and remembrance.

I chat with Dick Taylor. He started his service in the British army at the tender age of sixteen as a Junior Trooper at the Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Armoured Corps in Bovington. After completing training, he served with 3RTR and 2RTR. As well as being a tank commander, he was a specialist in tank gunnery. He was commissioned as a captain in 2000 into 1RTR and left the regular army as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2013, although he has since been mobilized for operational service three times for tours overseas. During his long career he completed fifteen operational deployments to various hot spots including three tours of Afghanistan, two to Iraq, as well as Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan. He is the official historian of the Royal Armoured Corps, has an avid interest in modern and military history and writes military history books for a hobby. His most recent publications have been The Second World War Tank Crisis: The Fall and Rise of British Armour 1919-1945, and the first two volumes of Armoured Warfare in the British Army (Find, Fix and Strike).
