discussion Tankfest 2018 - Link to my gallery

[adt70hk]

Hi all

I'm posting this as I thought I should give something back following the great reception I've had since joining.

Last year was my first Tankfest (I had though gone to the old display days on the range in my 'youf'). Lots of steel was on view in the arena and they had also sorted out the Conservation Hall so you could actually get close up to some of the rarer/unique exhibits.

Most of the vehicles on display were obviously Bovington exhibits or British Army vehicles but there were also some from Holland, Belgium, private owners and in the case of France the only running Char B1 in the world that had been shipped over for the weekend.

The Flickr Album - is HERE!! if you're interested.

If you would like to use screengrabs of any of the shots please feel to take them as you see fit and if you want a copy of the original photo send me a PM and we'll sort it out form there.

Yours

Andrew

PS Apologies if this is not in the right place but it was the closest I could find.

A lot of good photos Andrew, but I wish you hadn't reminded me about bar armour! Bovington is on my bucket list, but it's a long way from here.

Hi Kelly

It was a very good day indeed. The only downside was that it was the hottest day of the summer - 30+ degrees and no shade. It had also been very dry in the run up so there was a lot of dust flying around.

All the best.

I was there again this year with the panther (sounded amazing!) on show from the Saumur museum and the jagdpanther from the weald foundation, another awesome year... just like the last 5 years I've been going (fathers day present). Roll on next year! :smiling3:

Would love to have gone again but after 3 years on the bounce my wife needed a break!

Andrew, how about some you time?... every year around the end of June! I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind her space or peace as well, :hugging-face: :smiling4: :hugging-face:
My wife went once... only the once mind you! :smiling5:
