Welcome to the forum,

Tiger 131, well you have some pretty good reference material to hand i suppose, I think everyone is green with envy, I do consider myself fortunate as I am only a couple of hours drive from Bovington, great choice of both tanks, enjoy.

I didn't think to mention at first, this blog of Tiger 131 has been extremely helpful to me in my Tiger build. Lots of high res pics. Check it out in case you haven't seen it!

Hi Steve welcome, that must be an amazing job to have.

I hope you will tell us more about what you do and how you find working with such fine examples of armour.

Steve, as luck would have it I think I asked you today where the Tortoise tank is at Bovington. Should have say hi as I thought it was you from the forum but can't be sure. I did note down you name tag and lo and behold it is you.

Thanks again for the offer to take me to the conservation area on another day but I am on a bit of a whirlwind tour and it is my last day in the London area.
