Armor_AficionadoDutchman, as long as you're staying in Holland, you should at least go to Overloon while you're there (unless you've already been, that is).
I go to Scale Model World every year. I do travel a long way by train and it is an 04:30 hour start.
I normally do take vehicles to Tank fest, but this year I have history in school day's scheduled.
It was a real hump for me, but I went to Scale Model World at Telford as well as the RAF museums at Cosford and Hendon. It was definitely worth it! Save your pennies and go if you can; you will not regret it.
Wool, where the Tank Museum is located, is quite charming. And not a single Starbucks to be seen anywhere!

BlackSheepTwoOneFour Sailing_Dutchman I am going on a vacation to Europe and one of the stops will be the Tank Museum at Bovingon. I was wondering if anyone else was going to be there. Kind of a silly question to be honest. Not everybody can afford to fly to Europe on a whim just to attend a Tankfest. A better question would be if anybody has been there.

Well, not really. There are a few of us on this side of the pond, so we don't need to fly to Europe on a whim. And people in Europe do tend to travel all over for these events.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I will only be in the UK for the three days, but am staying on my aunts farm in Holland for about three months. I will post the pictures when I get back to the US as I will not have good enough WIFI on the farm.
Lucky duck!!!
I visited Bovington in 2014, but in November. The B&B I stayed at was run by a couple that knew of Tankfest and told us about it. You could hear the tanks at night.
I only got to see a EBR-75 fire up and drive out of the display area, as I believe they were changing out the displays. Man that thing was loud and super stinky! I also saw turretless Challengers rolling down the road outside, student drivers in training. They were a lot quieter than I expected, like garbage trucks with no clankety clank track noise.
Maybe someday
enjoy and post pics !!!
