YOU can spend the night in a real British Army tank which has been converted into a two-bed glamping hut.<\/p>\n

Once a working vehicle, the FV104 Samaritan was used from 1976.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

It was an armoured ambulance in the UK that transported up to six injured soldiers and civilians to safety.<\/p>\n

Now, it is a much fancier affair, with underfloor heating and a Smart TV with a built-in DVD player.<\/p>\n

Located next<\/span> to a lake in Friskney, Lincolnshire, the tank has a double bed along with an electric hob and WiFi.<\/p>\n

A fire pit and barbecue are also included, so you can cook your own meals.<\/p>\n

You can stay in a former army truck that kids will love for just \u00a325pp a night<\/h3>\n

While it sleeps two, there is a log pod for two extra guests also situated near the tank.<\/p>\n

Her restoration began after the owners wanted to create a truly reverent restoration by using the services of several experts, including a local blacksmith. <\/p>\n

An original frame attached to the back of the tank pulls out to become an awning with seating and lakeside views.<\/p>\n

The tank door has also been reconstructed to contain both a fridge and a wine-rack, for ease of access to take a bottle or two to the picturesque lakeside view.<\/p>\n
