A Few Holiday Pictures ***WARNING-CONTAINS TANK pr0n***

Hi All,
Been away on holiday for the last week in Devon on the sunny
south coast of England.
Whilst there, we took the opportunity to go to the legendary
Bovington Tank Museum.
It is AMAZING. If you ever get the chance to go, I highly
recommend it.
It's one of the best attractions in the country. We spent the
whole day there and didn't run out of things to see or do.
I've dumped a load of photos in a Photobucket album if you're
interested in some of the exhibits they have there.
For scale purposes, I'm about 5'8" and my son is around 4'7".

I have some video of the display they run in the outdoor tank
arena but haven't uploaded it yet.
I'll also get around to tagging the pictures eventually, but if
you have any questions about some of the content, just ask.
Enjoy!
PS: There is also photo evidence that I am no longer a freetard,
sucking WG dry by not paying my way. I couldn't resist the WOT
t-shirt. Not direct expenditure on the game, I know, but I am
actively promoting their product. Maybe I should bill them for
advertising :wink:

phone?

It's a mix. Some are off my main camera (a cheapish Samsung
WB700) but I'm sure there's something wrong with it. It has
recently been for repair and I'm not convinced it's been fixed
properly. I'm no photographer, but I can see there are some
with bad exposure and a lot of noise. When new, it was much
better.
Others are from my wife's and my own phone cameras.
Glad you all like the pics though.

Well they look awesome! I was actually calling out the names of
the tanks as the slideshow progressed. My son stated that I play
this game too much. :bigsmile:
We need a tank museum here in Florida. Fellow OFFlordians, we
need to figure out how to make this happen! Then we can stop
being the butt of jokes. No one will dare make fun of us if we
have a large number of tanks (albeit non-running, display
pieces, but still TANKS!) :charge:

A lot of the tanks at Bovington are in working order.
The Tiger is the star, but they even have some original WWI
tanks that they have only just decided to retire from the
display in order to preserve them better.
The WWI MkIV that they now use in the display is a replica
produced for the movie "Warhorse" that was gifted to the museum
after the film completed.
