Tank Fest at Bovington

Anyone going? Looks good this year with Supemarine Spitfire and a C47 fly bys.

Not this year but went last year with a friend whose Royal Engineer Grandad met his Grandma at Nijmegen - appropriate since they were reenacting the Arnhem and related landings.

Last year was excellent. Got mild sunburn, lots of reasonable pics, and a great flyby from the C47 and P51.

Enjoy it and show us some snaps - especially if they run the Comet or Centurion as those were the tanks my Dad served in.

Excellent. Hope to see some pics of that then.

Off topic slightly, but does anyone know what happened to the 4 Comets that were being restored as a troop on the Isle of Wight (IIRC)? From memory the guys lost their premises.
