Note the 'L' plate on the front which means the driver is a learner.

Good one! Even more reason than usual to keep well away from this driver! Did the fence post survive?

Did the fence post survive? Only because of lots of Zoooooom!

Memories: Bovington Camp, 1951. I trained here for 2 months as a Daimler Amoured cat mecanic. We used to dust-off the tanks and vehicles in the Tank Museum for extra duties. The museum was not open to the public in those days, it was just a collection. Later, in the '70s while on a visit to Blighty from Canada, I visited the museum as a paying tourist.

Thanks for your visit lilywhiteguy. I last visited the Tank Museum about four years ago and it has come a long way since the early days. There is at least one Iraqi tank (T54?) there now. No doubt I'll be down that way again this year so if there are any pictures of the area you'd like to see let me know. Regards, purdey
