Just returned from two days at Bovington at Tankfest 2021. An awesome museum and a great event. Nothing compares to an 80 odd ton monster in real life!
I got lots of photos of all (I think!?) the tanks on display, both in the museum and in the shed awaiting rrestoration.
Also got some nice pics of weathered and rusty surfaces for reference too.
If anyone would like a particular vehicle posted do let me know. I won't put them all up since there are hundreds, and I assume there's a finite amount if space!
All in all, an excellent museum and event. I will return (you also get a years entry with a Tankfest ticket, events excluded).
Last, but not least, had the very great pleasure to speak with David Willey and David Fletcher on separate occasions. An honour indeed. For those following the tank chats, David F was researching a vehicle for a new chat. If you don't already subscribe on YouTube, also highly recommended.
