Craig Moore profiles Paul Shepherdson’s M5A1 Stuart ‘Rhino’ light tank, an armoured vehicle with specialist Culin hedgerow cutters
Paul Shepherdson purchased his M5A1 Stuart light tank back in 2006. His first military vehicle was an Austin Champ followed by a Jeep, which he still owns. He did not have any formal mechanical training, although his father was a blacksmith and taught him a few skills. Most of his mechanical knowledge was self-taught from his interest in grass track racing when he started to build his very own racing engines.
