Steve it was a very enjoyable day. I would say to anyone that if you are a fan of armour then the Tankfest event held annually at Bovington Tank Museum is a must to attend at least once in your lifetime.

Sorry bud I could not found your face in the crowd which is a surprise considering that haircut. It was good to see the Irish Army there chatting to the crowds.

They were over with the Sliabh na mBan, the Rolls Royce armoured car that Michael Collins died next to at the Béal na Bláth ambush.
