And a great audiotour.
Let David Fletcher, Tank Museum Historian and the world's leading expert on armoured warfare, take you on an audio tour of our principal exhibition; The Tank Story.

Follow in David's footsteps on a 100 year journey through the history of armoured warfare. As he examines each of the 36 vehicles in this unique exhibition, you'll discover more about these most significant machines and the men that fought in them.

Over his 30 year association with The Tank Museum, David has made an enormous contribution to the military vehicle heritage community, and is highly regarded for his work across the globe.

The tours were recorded by The Tank Museum Archive & Library Department and offer a swift yet detailed tour through the 50,000sqft Tank Story Hall.

A great example of how to use modern-social media.
Well done

Here is a blog post on a recent visit to Bovington Tank Museum.




Tank-tastic day at Bovington
Took the kids the other day to the tank museum at Bovington - Had a wicked time, I hadn’t been there for many years. The museum has under gone a very nice new facelift, including new exhibitions and facilities, and is a wonderful day out. From the very first tank ever (Little Willy – which has now got a beer named after it!) to the modern-day 21st century vehicles there are over 200 tanks and armoured vehicles that have seen action in every major conflict since 1915.

I wanted to visit the Trench exhibition which allows you, the visitor, to follow in the footsteps of a ww1 army recruit. From recruiting office in England to mud and blood of the front line trenches. But my young boy, Honza, was scared of the exhibits and we didn’t go in…which is a shame, but I am sure we will get to go again! What has this got to do with a tank museum you may well ask? Well, actually, everything. The tank (or land-ship as it was originally called) was primarily invented (by the British) in an attempt to break the stalemate of trench warfare, and made its world debut in September 1916 near Delville Wood during the later stages of the Battle of the Somme.

Another great exhibition is the Tank Story which follows the evolution of the tank from Little Willie in 1915 up to modern-day tanks and all in between. Including the daddy of them all – the Tiger..
