⭐️TANKFEST STAR VEHICLES⭐️ The Matilda II was dominant in the Western Desert battlefield between the autumn of 1940 and the spring of 1941. The Matilda II first saw action at the Battle of Arras in 1940 and was the only British tank used throughout the Second World War. In North Africa the thick armour earned the Matilda II the nickname, ‘Queen of the Desert.’ This Matilda II will run in the arena at TANKFEST on 27 - 29 June! https://tankmuseum.org/events/tankfest/ | The Tank Museum

The Matilda II, with its thick frontal armour and powerful high-velocity gun, terrified the Germans at the Battle of Arras in 1940, exploiting their tactical shortcomings and causing Hitler to become heavily involved in the tank-design process, demanding increasingly heavily armoured and better-gunned tanks. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Matilda II in action at TANKFEST 2023, 23 – 25 June. Find out more: https://tankmuseum.org/article/tankfest-2023-stars-of-the-show #tankmuseum #TANKFEST

In this episode the Workshop team intend to move the hull for painting. Though when it actually comes to moving the hull it looks like some mechanisation might be helpful as you will see!
