What Can I Expect
There's no sting in the tail of this Scorpion tank driving and firing experience - just tons of fun! This is your chance to drive and fire a genuine ex-Forces tank at this showground venue near Rugby.
For a tank, the Alvis Scorpion it is extremely light, weighing in at a ‘mere' 8 tonnes. Its small size means two of them can be loaded onto a Hercules aeroplane. And indeed many Scorpions were sent out this way to war zones in Iran-Iraq, the Gulf and the Falklands.
Their prowess is their agility and size. Quickly deployable in a battlefield, the Scorpions often led the way in hostile zones, before the big tanks could get there. Each tank rolled with a crew of three and was armed with a 76mm main gun, a 7.62mm turret gun and twin smoke grenade dischargers.
On these Scorpion driving and firing experiences you'll be doing just that as a duo. One of you will be the nominated driver, whilst the other fires the gun.
Of course it's not real ammunition you'll be firing, but the gun makes all the right noises and has all the special effects! If you both want to have a go at driving and firing, go for the Two Driver voucher.
It’s also worth noting that the driver's hatch on a Scorpion tank is very small (51cm x 39cm oval), so it can be a bit of a squeeze getting inside and into the driving position, especially with the crew seats and periscope in there too.
Driving a Scorpion tank and firing that gun is cool. So, who are you going to call to be your trusty Scorpion crew mate for your full-tracked mission?
