During August we travelled to Moscow to see our first grandchild Diana who is now 10 weeks old. On a cultural outing to the historic estate of Archangelskoi just west of Moscow we passed near to a military museum and I was persuaded by Mrs G, Helena to visit. It proved to be the Russian Military Technical Museum at Chernogolovka. It has a very impressive collection of armoured vehicles, artillery and vehicles. I am fairly sure that it is a private Museum.
Below are some of my photos of the WWII equipment. Here is a link to all my photos on Flickr

ReplyDeleteYes we had gone to see a palace in the suburbs with the baby and passed this place just nearby. Wife and daughter-law forced me to go.
