Great bunch of vids guys.

Bovington is a great museum and well worth visiting. If they had a working KingTiger it would probably rank it as one of the best tank  museums in Europe, if not the best.

It looks like they have built a new spectators arena recently also. I really wish I had thought about the events they have going on this summer. It would have been nice to see the Tiger in motion.  :0d:

Last time I was there it was in a fully restored state minus the engine. I have a couple of pictures of it which I will hunt down and post up sometime this week.

Cheers  :0f:

Die Niederlande, I thought you already know?

@ Moose,

They build an entire new wing at museum and also the spectators arena you mentioned.

You are lucky you live in the Uk with those awesome tank and Airshows.

Ok guys...... here`s the Tigger.... plus a few more you may like  :0b:.

The Tiger pics are a bit grainey sadly,  I took them a long time ago on a fairly cheap digi camera. I shall be visiting again one day soon so I will get some better pictures next time around.

I don`t know what their plans are Magnus.

I do know that the Panther and Jagd have been static displays for many years, whereas the Tiger was put on and off display during the different stages of rebuild.

I shall try and find out some info on what they have planned for the future and let you know.

I would really like to see the KT back in action, but I think they might be missing a couple of peices here and there. :0f:

I have been searching too and you will not see the KT in action sadly:
The engine, turret traverse system and gearbox were sold for scrap in the 90's while the tank was in the care of Shrivenham Military Academy.
The Panther though has all the parts but only needs funding to restore it.

I stumbled on www.wheatcroftcollection.com (private collector) which has plans to rebuild a KT from parts they required. That will be a very long process I guess.

That`s really sad about the KT engine. :0d:  why would anyone do that for gods sake. A very bad decision on their part.

Millitarymodelling forum visited Wheatcrofts workshops and have several photos to check out. The guy has so much stuff it`s unreal.

Another private collector is Jacques Littlefield ( died in Jan 09 ) from the USA.

Here`s a short vid of his restored Panther
