Скачать или смотреть Maximus Explores Ashford’s Real WW1 Tank! 🚀🛡️ Hidden History in Kent

Join Maximus on an epic adventure to Ashford’s incredible WW1 Mark IV Female tank (No. 245) right in the heart of town! 🚀

This real beast from 1917-1918 weighs 26-27 tons, tops out at just 3.7-4 mph, powered by a 105 hp Daimler petrol engine, armed with 5 Lewis machine guns (no big cannons—that’s why it’s a ‘Female’ variant!), and protected by thin 0.5-inch (12mm) steel armor.

Presented to Ashford on 1 August 1919 as a huge ‘thank you’ for the town’s amazing response to National War Savings Appeals (one of 265 towns rewarded post-war)—it’s one of only ~7 surviving Mark IVs worldwide, the last outdoor public one on its original site in St George’s Square!

Grade II listed war memorial under a protective canopy (added 1988), it even served as an electricity sub-station from 1929-1960s before being preserved.

Never saw combat but a true symbol of early tank history and local pride.

Watch Maximus walk around, share cool facts, and get up close to this iconic landmark—what a piece of history!
