Came across this due to an interest in old cars and just before I was about to switch it off from the boredown of looking at JCB’s etc ! Various bits and pieces @ 2.21 onwards identified as An2 and Anson.

I didn’t see any Anson bits but the radial engine with propeller at 2:35 is either a Bristol Mercury or Pegasus…
…out of interest the tank is a Centurion, the armoured car an Alvis Saladin and the artillery a 3.7” Anti-Aircraft Gun (I think).
From the state of the Bristol engine I’d say it had come out of the sea but that’s only a guess.
I like what appears to be a AEC Matador type cab in the long grass?
Looks like a Matador to me.
