The Main Event

Get ready for some fun with this epic Tank, DAF Army Truck and Army Land Rover Driving Experience! If you’ve ever fancied yourself as a bit of an action hero, this is your chance to unleash your inner commander and get behind the wheel of not one, not two, but three incredible military vehicles, all on the same day.

Your adventure takes place at the Gatwick Aviation Museum, where the roar of engines and the smell of diesel set the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day out. Plus, your experience even includes free entry to the museum, so you can explore some seriously impressive aircraft before or after your driving session.

First up, take control of the Alvis CVR(T) Spartan Tank, known as the ‘sports tank’ thanks to its speed and agility. Don’t be fooled by its 8-tonne weight, this beast is powered by the same 4.2-litre engine as the legendary Jaguar E-Type. With fingertip steering and a top speed of over 50 mph (even in reverse!), this is tank driving like you’ve never imagined.

Next, hop into the driver’s seat of the Leyland DAF 45/150, affectionately nicknamed the “4 Tonner”. With more muscle than your average monster truck, this military workhorse is built to tackle any terrain. You’ll feel every ounce of its power as you rumble through the off-road course, mastering its controls and learning why it’s a true army legend.

To round things off, you’ll get behind the wheel of a genuine 90 Para Defender. This is your chance to experience the grit and determination it takes to handle a vehicle that’s seen action in some of the toughest conditions imaginable.

Whether it’s a gift for a thrill-seeker, a unique experience for a military enthusiast, or a day out with a difference, this driving adventure ticks every box.
