Having recently read a rather thick book on the WW2 desert war, it's noticeable how little can be covered in a one hour TV programme. I wasn't aware the M3 Stuart was nicknamed the "Honey". Will be watching again next week.

Was interesting, but the choice of footage was a bit misleading - you would get the impression that 5 RTR was equipped with Shermans and Crusaders while in the desert...
