3 hours south is Bovington but this time of year they arent likey to be running anything so the chances of seeing the Tiger 1 prowling about are slim

Status: offline 		Hello,
I agree with the others , if you are a tank enthusiast , Bovington is the place to go. Even my wife loved it , how many wives can drive a Leopard tank , and she isn't even in the army, LOL. The Museum has numerous tanks and other AFV's on display, interactive displays, as well as uniforms, weapons etc. During the summer they have weekends when they drive the refurbished tanks about , complete with re-enactors in authentic uniforms . The Tank Museum also has a nice gift shop , and a small restaurant. The staff there is very friendly. Just google " The Tank Museum " on your PC. The website is very informative, telling the about the various activities there, and new exibits and good info on anything about Tanks. Also in the area are very nice accomodations , at reasonable prices. I hope this helps
Frank
