bovvington
hi anyone manage to get to Bovington tank museum march 31st to see tiger 131 in action let me know what you thought it was a great day a long way to go but well worth it
Re: bovvington
I would have loved to see that, but it's a bit of a trip for me.
My best chance of seeing a Tiger I at this point is waiting for the legal issues to clear and Aberdeen Proving Grounds will get there's back from overseas.
Any photos?

Hi chaps
I travelled up from the bottom end of Cornwall to see Tiger 131, and yes, it was worth every minute
, especially as this was my first visit to Bovvy anyhoo

yep I was there, not too far to travel for me luckily. Great day out and would have been even better if the sun had made an appearance.
Great to see a T34/85 out to as well as the tiger, and kind of ironic that the start was delayed due to the British contingent having trouble starting

Smoke me a kipper.......i'll be back for breakast
