Bovington Tank Museum, Dorset


Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset houses the world's finest indoor collection of armoured fighting vehicles dating from the earliest tanks developed to the latest battle tank of the British Army, the Challenger.

The Tank Museum includes a unique collection of first World War tanks and a recently restored German Tiger tank, the only one still in working order.

A trip to the Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset may be necessary to get accurate descriptions for the following exhibits:-

Tank or Tractor?

This looks more like a tractor! Can it really be in the Tank Museum.

Lawrence of Arabia's Brough Superior, Bovington Tank Museum

This is Lawrence of Arabia's motor bike. A Brough Superior. He unfortunately crashed and died in an accident near his home at Clouds Hill, not far from the Tank Museum.

Rolls Royce Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

In the days of the Rahj you could join the army and drive around in a Rolls Royce.

First World War Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

This can't be a British design. Surely not!

Second World War Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

Very deceptive, these tanks almost look like dinky toys.

From Bovington Tank Museum

An early submarine or Dalek perhaps?

Mobile Gun, Bovington Tank Museum

This looks a mean machine. Fortunately, it was a mobile gun, and did not have a rotating turret.

Floating Sherman Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

If you look closely you can see propellers. It's a floating Sherman Tank. Several sank during D-Day when they drifted broadside to the waves.

From Bovington Tank Museum

This looks like a Hell's Angels dream machine. I'd like to see one do a wheely.

First World War Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

I believe this was left over from the Norman Conquest.

French Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

This little french number liked to keep a low profile.

Rolls Royce Tank, Bovington Tank Museum

Back to the Rahj again. No low profile here!

Bridge Layer, Bovington Tank Museum

A bridge layer.

Motar, Bovington Tank Museum

The enormous gun barrel on the left was a motar!

The original beach buggy.
