What Can I Expect

What's more fun than night tank driving at Bicester Heritage? Driving that tank at night AND firing the 76mm gun using night-sights, that's what!

This is tank driving with the night time twist. You will crew the tank as a pair. One of you will be the driver and the other will be the gunner. Under the cover of darkness, your mission will be to give the sleeping enemy a rude awakening.

Acting as spotter, your gunner will guide your driver as you negotiate the obstacle course at Bicester Heritage in a fully-tracked FV101 Scorpion tank. These British armoured reconnaissance vehicles are totally built for the job, but it takes some skill to literally keep on the right track at night.

The tank lights will help guide you, but you'll need your gunner to be properly on the case to seek out of the precise location of the target. As soon as the 76mm gun turret has been moved into position, your gunner will be using the night sights (original Army fitted ones!) to take aim. All set? Get ready for the order to fire to be given…

As a gunner, you'll get three shots on target. Will you miss and wake the enemy? Or will you prove yourself to be a hot shot with a direct hit?

Whether you were on target or not, you'll need to move fast to turn that tank around and get out of the area, as the gunfire could have alerted other enemy camps in the area. Relying on your gunner once again to help guide you around the course, it's time to drive your tank back to base in the dark.

These excellent night tank driving experiences at Bicester Heritage are for teams of two. You need to be at least 18 years old with a full driving licence to drive, but just 12 years old to be the gunner/passenger. Vouchers are available for one of you to drive, or both of you. Either way, you won't forget the time you drove a tank at night - and fired the turret gun too!
