A soldier has apologised after crashing an eight-tonne tank into a garden fence during a driving lesson.
The Spartan Armoured Personnel Carrier - which had 'L' plates attached to it - left the road as it made his way through Letheringsett, Norfolk, on Monday, said army officials.
A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said the driver, who had recently returned from Afghanistan, apologised to the owners of the house, Phil and Jayne Jones.
She said the soldier was an experienced driver who was learning to drive tracked vehicles such as the Spartan.
No one was hurt and police said they had not been involved.

Ten British servicewomen on operations in Afghanistan have been sent back to the UK in the past six months after falling pregnant, it was revealed today.
The servicewomen were evacuated between April 31 and October 31 this year under military rules which ban pregnant women from being on battle duty, according to figures released to the Sunday Mirror by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
An MoD spokeswoman said: 'All our forces are expected to behave within the Armed Forces' code of conduct. If women become or discover they are pregnant on operations, they are returned to the UK at the first opportunity for their own well being and to preserve operational effectiveness.'
