As part of a three-man crew, you’ll take it in turns to negotiate the tricky tank course behind the controls of a 17-tonne FV432 tank with specially modified cannons which are capable of firing 40mm paint rounds. Under the guidance of your on-board instructor, you will get the opportunity to drive the tank, aim the cannon, load the breach and fire the big air-powered cannon. To get you into your role as an artillery hot-shot, you will be issued with radio headsets, kevlar helmets, tank suits and gloves. Once you are able to successfully operate the tank, the hatches are closed and you are free to engage in full-on armoured warfare against an opposing team using only your periscopes to guide you! After your experience, you will have the opportunity to look around the onsite military collection free of charge.
