It still looked pretty much the same when I first visited in the early '90s (only in colour...) I was there last summer http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2011/06/tank-museum-visit-part-1-overview.html
They look much larger in real life don't they. I haven't seen many tanks personally, I did meet a nice Stuart a couple of years ago. The Aberdeen Proving ground look like they have a nice collection though. Ben.
I managed to visit Bovington for the first time only a couple of years ago (after many years of trying!) - an amazing collection and very well displayed. I too was struck by just how large some of those things are, it makes you realise that most of the 1/72 figures are way out of scale with the vehicles!
Wow, great pictures. I'm planning a Bovington trip this spring with a few mates, been putting it off for several years as it's a 700 mile round trip and I'm the only driver! Still, I can't wait.
I'm pretty sure you can't climb up onto the tanks now like you can in these pictures!?
