Another visit to Bovington.

Post by Son of a gun-ner »

Hi all, just booked a hotel and day visit to The Tank Museum for this upcoming Friday.

I will be taking a tape measure (museum permitting) as well as my camera phone :D

Therefore, get any requests in soon.

Mick,

You lucky Gent's over there! I guess I will have to live vicariously through all of the Forum member's who are lucky enough to be able to visit such a wonderful place! Totally sick with envy! :sick:

Cheers,
Eric.

Eric, perhaps we could catch a riverboat down to New Orleans and then stow away on a tramp steamer bound for England.

Or I stowaway on a junk out of Shanghai.

I, too, am an envious one who's been planning a UK trip for the past two years but for some reason or another, strange things keep getting in the way. Perhaps in 2022? :haha:

You can become a member of the Bovington Tank Museum free of charge by just visiting their web site and joining. The down side is that you'll get loads of information about what you will be missing!

I should have booked a hotel as it took me 4 hours to get home! Should have been 2.5

Jim,

I'm game, count me in! :haha:

GB01,

Joining the Bovington tank club would just increase the depression! :lolno:

Mick,

As for pictures, yes please, of everything! :wave:

Cheers,
Eric.

Sorry to our American cousins.
It wasn't my intention to make you jealous. . . .

Funny, I've only lived roughly 100 miles from the place all my life, been to the area many times, just never had the chance to pay a visit.
Thought it was about time, especially as I have my grandson staying with me, it just had to be done, spur of the moment :D

Speaking of grandkids (way off topic) our third grandchild was born today and ironically it’s also my wife’s birthday. How cool is that?
