How Two Friends Restored the TANK with the BIGGEST GUN in History | FV4005

The FV4005 was a Cold War monster designed to carry the biggest gun ever fitted to a tank. But for decades, it was left rusting in pieces and largely forgotten. In this full documentary, follow two best friends, Joe and Jack, as they take on the impossible: a 6-month deadline to rebuild this 50-ton machine from the ground up for the world's biggest armor show. From resurrecting a dead V12 engine to wrestling a massive 15-ton turret into place, this is the epic story of how the world's most unique tank was brought back to life.
