Additional Info

AREA 1 - Armoured Personnel Carriers - 432's
These 15 ton battlefield armored multi-purpose vehicles are highly maneuverable and provide the feeling of real power. The dips, turns and slopes allow the potential of these vehicles to be exposed. There is space for up to six people to ride in the back allowing the whole team to experience the driving skill (or lack of it!) of the driver.

Abbott Tank - The ideal vehicle for the frustrated M25 user –17 ton tank with a 105mm Howitzer capable of shooting over 10 miles! Simply to drive one of these Abbots is to command respect as this piece of heavy metal has no equal-except for another tank! Lever skid steer automatic gearbox. Our course tests brain, brawn and bottle, all under safe and professional instruction.

AREA 2 - Ferret CVR (Combat Vehicle Recce)
Small nippy armoured cars. Powered by a six cylinders Rolls Royce Engine, and Daimler body, the Ferret Armoured Car can pull 60 mph. It first served in 1953 and is used worldwide.

Lance - Large, American built aluminum tracked amphibious tank, carrying a sectionalized 30’ nucleur surface to surface missile. Very responsive and smooth driving - with only a five vehicles belonging to private individuals in the world.

AREA 3 - Flintlock & Mortars
Learn to fire a 17th Century Flintlock smooth bone musket and 17th Century cast iron co-horn mortar. Great fun once the mortar explodes creating a 12’ flash and 15’ smoke ring.

AREA 4 - Weaponry
Sixty minutes of fascinating weapons demonstration and briefing showing the reality of weapons and combat. Have a close look at IRA constructed bombs, made with household items.

AREA 5- SAS Skills and Woodland Patrol
Learn the secrets of the SAS by a former SAS soldier. Then, armed with this new set of skills pit your wits against him in the jungle!

AREA 6 - Radio Controlled Tanks OR Soft Air Squirmish
Trying to out manoeuvre the opposition using large Russian built tanks. Minimum of three people to control each tank. After a full briefing on the weapons and safety aspects your team endeavours to recover an integral part of a tank sighting system lost in the woods. Beware of snipers! Each recruit has his own fully automatic machine gun and 400 rounds.
