Default Cromwell trench crossing

bit of fun after a recent show.
it did get me thinking that instead of running around the arena show organizers might put on something more dynamic. i'd love to get the Cromwell airborne one day but it's far too risky to do with public around. a sheared road wheel at 30mph would take a bit of stopping !!!
anyway enjoy the video

Good job the driver's position is nice and comfy with no sharp edges to bash yourself on upon landing!

next year we'll get some germans to re-enact the trench being crossed while they are still in it.
