I'm a huge fan of military museums, if I could I'd be in one every weekend. ;)

One of my favourite is the Cobbaton Combat Collection, here's a video I made about 20 years ago. (apologies for the quality)

Military museum and tourist attraction, this North Devon collection has tanks, trucks, armoured cars, guns, helmets, artillery and grenades. From bombs to Home Front ration books, gas masks, ARP and Home Guard and blackout lamps, mostly World War Two and the years 1939 - 1945.

Exhibits cover from the Boer War, WW1, the Falklands,right up to the First Gulf War, with kit from the British Army - plus Canadian, American and Russian Forces.

In 1981 Preston Isaac's runaway hobby was opened to the public, and just keeps growing. On site is a large shop stocking collectors’ items, inert ammunition, clothing, hats, badges, survival equipment, books, CDs, toys, souvenirs and much more.
