About the Junior Tank Driving Session - Renfrewshire
For young military vehicle lovers aged 9 - 16 in Scotland, we are pleased to announce that we are offering a Junior Tank Driving Session, hosted exclusively at Scart Farm, close to the Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire, easily accessible for those in and around Glasgow! The tank in question is an FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier, formerly driven and used by the British Army for transporting soldiers, kit and equipment to battlefields and training zones across the globe. It's exciting enough getting inside the tank, but your child's face when they realise they'll be driving it will surely be unbeatable! Of course, their instructor, who'll be with them throughout the drive, will be able to take over the controls where needed, so it's all done with safety as paramount. And Scart Farm itself offers the ideal backdrop, with lush Scottish countryside and plenty of wet and wild terrains to tackle. Your child will have a full briefing and explanation on steering and where the accelerator and the brakes are located. If you're brave enough to, you can also join your child on the ride as a passenger - up to two guests are permitted - so that you can be part of their experience too!
