Bovington Tank Museum is a waste of money now, and that's a fact! On my first visit back in mid to late 1970's, I found it to be an OK museum which had a great shop with top notch books. But on my last visit some five years ago I was deeply disappointed in what I saw, no change what so ever.

The WW1 section was OK but the rest was a mess, displays arranged badly, information was poor and the shop now turned into a tacky pile of junk, which charged dreadful high prices and the food hall was a bigger joke. No I will never return there, until they give the museum a major revamp.

On a better note over the years Duxford Museum has been very good and moving with the times, their land warfare section puts Bovington to shame.
