Bovington

[Jobu88]

Fulfilled a to-do item recently & traveled to Bovington to check out the tanks. What an amazing collection.
Some of the WW II tanks were much smaller than I had imagined. The Panzer III for example looked like it
would be cramped if the crew were all 12 year-olds.

On the other hand, the Tiger II was truly impressive & must have been even more so in 1944.
I'm 6' 1" tall and the average German was probably between 5'8" and 5'9".

The famous Tiger 131:




On the way home we hit Stonehenge. It was ass-cold & snowing off and on.



And of course, no trip to the UK is complete without a stop at the pub. The Trout Pub in Itchen Abbas.
