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. The Buffalo LVT was brought in to the area in 1947 to provide flood defences, but was swept away and sank into a hole.
Recently, the History Hit team were provided with exclusive access to the site and Dan was invited onboard the incredibly well preserved vehicle.
