From The Times and the Sunday Times, this is the story.

I'm Manvine Rana.

I can remember vividly sitting in one of the seats

as the vehicle kind of clicked through the gears from second to third.

I can remember thinking like, yeah, this is loud, and I can remember

feeling the vibration in my feet and in my back.

That's Rob Page, a former lieutenant colonel in the army who was in charge of testing tanks,

including the army's fleet of the brand new Ajax

Armoured vehicles.

They're supposed to be among the best in the world, but their rollout hasn't gone to plan.

And then a sense of the back door opening and getting out, getting back on my feet on the

ground and feeling like that is just very strange

compared to my 19 years of being on armoured vehicles.

Just describe how you felt when you got out.

Shock would be really strong but surprised feels too weak.

I certainly felt pins and needles in my feet

and in my lower limbs. Immediately, just like the soldiers had reported to me, you know, I had

concerns that this wasn't quite right. The Ajax program has been plagued with problems,

and just days after it finally got the go-ahead to be deployed in battle,

it was revealed that soldiers had to be taken to hospital after a test run,

with some experiencing hearing loss, headaches and uncontrollable shaking.

Whole body vibration is a strange experience.
