In late April 2021, a team of volunteers from the Crowland Buffalo LVT group in Lincolnshire spent five days digging up and excavating a World War Two amphibious vehicle which has been buried 30 feet underground for the past 74 years.

Recently, the History Hit team were provided with exclusive access to the site and Dan was invited onboard the incredibly well preserved vehicle.
