Last Saturday Dave and I went to Bovington Tank Museum for
the second of two Tiger days. This event
is for the famous Tiger 131 of Schwere Abteilung 504 captured in Tunisia. As we had VIP tickets we were able to climb
on the Tiger and other Panzers to inspect the interior. There were a series of lectures and a demonstration
in the arena of Tiger 131 – yes it runs – as well as a number of tanks from
WWII and beyond.
It was an excellent day and can thoroughly recommend a trip
to anyone that has an interest in the origins of the tank and its evolution
through to the modern day.
I only had my phone for pictures but have selected the best
that I took on the day. Once Dave has
been through his I may add a few more of Tiger 131 to the blog.
Excellent photos!
ReplyDeleteI must say I'm surprised some of those camo schemes worked though!
