Hi all just some pics I though I'd share. Took about a year ago at arguably the best tank museum in the world - bovington. I'm fortunate enough to live about half an hour away and it's an amazing place.

Just a quick note to the devs - should you decide to make the chieftan playable (hint hint!!) I'm sure I could get shots of the interior if I was to ask the Staff nicely at the museum smile

Anyway the pics:

For some reason you have to copy paste the link - but its worth it!

Nice shots Skimbo, I had a great time there last year, that King Tiger is a monster, on the way back to the apartment we saw the new recruits learning to drive on the tank course next door.

My wife and daughter didn't enjoy the day so much, that's pay back for dragging me around clothes shops for years! yep Two days later I dragged them 'round the Fleet air arm museum too just for good measure.

Well I chopped his head off, that usually does the trick.
Yes, don't get clever with me Baldrick. I just thought you might have lopped off a leg or something by mistake.
No, the thing I chopped off had a nose.

Lol revenge is a dish beat served cold! wink

When I was about 8-9 my dad did some work for some high up at bovington - as a treat for a job well done I got to cheauffered around the tank training area in a chieftan tank. Mum and dad also got a go at driving it. As a spotty kid they wouldn't let me try it for obvious reasons but it's a day I'll always remember - amazing!

Daily commute would be no hassle with a chieftan... Coming through!
