Thanks for the link. I was there in 2009 and it is worth the side trip if anyone is ever in England. I would go so far as to call it the Smithsonian of tanks. I filled my memory card with over a
hundred pix so if anyone needs additional pix of some of these tanks sound off and I'll post what I have for you. I really liked their wooden model Davinci's concept tank and their wall displays which feautured many pix that I have never seen anywhere else.

Nice tour of Bovington....some nice changes since I was there. Have to disagree with the comments on the M-46. Compared to the M-26, it was a drastic upgrade and dependable. Only reason it was not used further because the M-47 was already in the planning stage.

This is interesting...........This is the same museum, same tanks, but taken by a different photographer from a different angle.
