This day last week myself and the junior arachnoids slung our webs over to the Bovington Tank Museum Tankfest.
Big display over two days of historical and modern armour.
I had never been before...what a really great day out.
Everything from replica WW1 tanks to Challenger 2...and everything in between.
Irish Army were there displaying ‘Sliabh na mBan’ alongside the only other running Rolls Royce Armoured Car in the World.
Highlight for me was the Tiger...awesome to see it in running order being put through its paces.
And the grand finale...Soviet era v NATO tanks and AFV's in a Cold War scenario battle...with the Dorset Army Cadets leading the infantry assault having been de-bussed from 432's!!!
I have pictures which I will try to post up later...really recommend this for a day out...actually if I was going again I would buy a weekend ticket because there was lots we didn't manage to see / do.
