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?
What, me worry?

Hi chaps :wave:

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

Hi mate,
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 :wtf:

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