If you have young MV enthusiasts you might want to pick up this tape. We purchased this for our two young sons 2 1/2 and 7 and they enjoy it.
Dave Hood makes a series of There goes a.. tapes and is also on a real wheels show that is on PBS.
The movie was filmed at 29 Palms Marine Corps base and features the M1A1 tank, the Hummer and the Logistics Support Vehicle in small snap shots. Also shown is the M60A1 and the Extending Boom forklift.
The Marine featured in the film is wearing the MARPAT camoflauge uniform.
Also shown is a DIVAD M113 variant, touch and go air extraction of a M551 Sheridan, LVT and a few other vehicles.
Firing sequences of the M1A1 and the M60 tank is shown as well.
The antics of Dave are a bit old after the second viewing but it keeps the kids interested.
The footage appears to be a mix of archival footage and footage shot on location.
I am not affiliated with Dave Hood but thought some other list members might want to check it out for thier children.
It is only available as a VHS tape no DVD.
Thanks,
Rick
