I am so "F"ing jealous. I missed this and Biggin Hill today as I had school fate duty... and a total lack of funds :-[

Still at least our house was flown over by a Lyxn and fully tooled up Apache Longbow this evening... which was nice i suppose  ::)

Nice pics BTW

cheers Crispy, shame you couldn't make it, going into the museum they asked me to fill in a vat/tax return form (or something) so they could claim some cash back from the government, anyway the sheet of paper they gave me is a free entry to the museum for the rest of the year!!! so i will be going back at some time.

I will post the video on youtube once i edit it, and it will stick some more photos on here and my website.

Do they take the Tiger out for every Tankfest? Might be thinking of going there next year to "feel the tiger alive"

[Rivetcounter]

They have taken the Tiger out for the last 5 years even when it was running very badly misfiring and stalling don't forget this is a crowd puller people from all over the world come to this event just to see the Tiger you will be surprised how quiet the tank is when it's running

[madbadger]

it certainly didn't misfire this time, purred like a tiger....lol...where abouts where you, i did move around lot.....i spent some time over at the models in the top left corner, i even offered the guy at Armortek a kidney for one of the king tigers.....awesome bit of kit....would love one of those 1/6th scales
