Visit to the Bovington Tank Museum
Posted by tellis on Friday, May 6, 2011 8:08 AM

Armor Brethren, I made a pilgrimage to the Royal Armored Corps Tank Museum at Bovington Camp, England. Definitley a first class experience. In addition to the portrayal of the history of tank warfare and development, they were conducting live vehicle demonstrations that day. In action were; Ferret Scout Car, FV 432 APC, M548 Ammo Carrier, M4 Sherman and a Leopard I. What a treat!, and after the demo they offered rides in the M548 Ammo Carrier. My teenage son had a blast. Here's a few pix, the rest can be found on Photobucket under Ellis263, Bovington Tank Musuem.

That's awesome. Please post more pics if you can.

 

 

I've marked the Patton Museum and Munster off my list of tank museums to see, I hope that one day I can make it to Bovington as well.

Sounds great, a trip to Bovington is one of those "bucket list" things for me. Thanks for sharing.
