Darren Baker takes us for a virtual walk around Bovington Tank Museum, and shows just how much is there which justifies its other title as "Home of the Tank".

An excellent tour Darren, well done. You really captured the atmosphere of the place.
I'm a Bovy fan too and go two or three times a year if I can.

Thank you both. It is registered as a charity and a visit there will be the best £11 for an adult £7 for a child you could ever spend.

Hi Darren,

Excellent stuff. Good to see this one go live. I like the new layout, the vehicles look much more accessable.

Look forward to the walkarounds

What variant is the Tiger I? These images have me thinking of several future builds.

It was cap;tured in tunisa in 1943 and so I believe would be classed as early.
