1st ? drove a scorpion light tank into a 12ft ditch
driving at night with no lights, doing about 35 along a farm track, commander says BRAKE RIGHT TURN 50YDS, i brake, left track locks up and we skid and tank gracefully dives into ditch on left side almost on its turret, my lid splits open on co-ax gimpy barrel, commander saves himself by ducking into turret and we come to a halt with smoke pouring from everywhere, we both scramble out of tank expecting it to go up any minute [ sparks and petrol = not good ] and run away
