While I've been to Bovington Tank Museum before on a
few occasions, 2014 was the first time I'd been to "Tankfest" and
seen many of the exhibits in action. Apart from the lunch break, there was
movement in the arena all day with different displays. The day ended with a
re-creation of the Arnhem battles which included flypasts by the BBMF Dakota
and the Hangar 11 P-51D Mustang. The weather was great and there were loads of
people there, so very busy, but a great day out. If you haven't been to see
this show, I'd highly recommend it.
The only thing spoiling the day was an officious
official, who wouldn't let my 4 year old daughter kneel at the back edge of
the stone blocks surrounding the arena, even though she was also being held at
the same time. Considering that I was leaning over the blocks much further
with my camera, and that there were a number of photographers within the
arena, I can't work out how she was in any more danger than they or I were?
I'm guessing his bright yellow jacket gave him a feeling of importance and
imagined power. Anyway, we just ignored him every time he walked on. |
