BOVINGTON - THE TANK MUSEUM

I went on a road trip this week.  Colin Jack, Ray Neal and I went for a few days to Cornwall but on our way there we diverted to Dorset and the home of The Tank Museum at Bovington.

Here are some photos from our visit to museum.  Our tour of the Museum took us 5 hours.  Given the time of the year no tanks were running at the arena but I got a video of the Mark IV from Warhorse driving into the Vehicle Conservation Centre.

    I like the A7V. Funny that it was named "Schnuck"; the German version of "stone-paper-scissor" was named, "Schnick - Schnack - Schnuck" … maybe the only 3 tanks they had from this version … :)
