INTRODUCING THE HTX1 SARGEANT BILKO HOVER TANK

Woodsy

The Hover Tank Sgt Bilko style on You Tube!

Not quite Gerry Anderson, the film isn't all bad! Any other actor would have been better than Steve Martin tho!

    I'm glad you said this was Sgt Bilko because any relationship of this sequence to the 50's TV show is absent.

    As a point of interest, if a hover tank fired a high velocity round wouldn't the recoil move it backwards?

      I do like Dan Akroyd. Blues |Brothers is one of my fave films of all time. I remember watching Phil Silvers as the original Bilko in the 60's. A very funny show. As to recoiling Hover Tanks, you may well be right Terran. Is it friction that reduces recoil on normal land tanks?

      I don't know the science of it but the sheer weight of a tank keeps it grounded. If you've seen any field gun being fired to rolls/jumps back from recoil.
