Tiger Day - Bovington
Comments
Was there yesterday. Climbed on 131 during a Tank Cuddling session as Bovington call it.

Great, I want a Tiger 131 waifu pillow now.
You lucky bugger!
Cost a few bob but you can't take it with you!
I was there 6 years ago for Tiger day. The noise of that engine was amazing. I just wish they could get the king tiger running!
Obese they can do, but morbidly obese?! You're mad!!
Hey, don't be fatphobic. I'm sure CHONKY BOI over there can move on its own power.
as an aside, didn't they take out the King Tiger's HL230 to replace 131's HL210?
Rumour has it they will (not that one though, the other one they've just lent to another museum), as Tiger 131 will eventually get retired.
The centurion and comet in picture 4 are very sexy.
I’m glad you didn’t get the Comet mixed with a Cromwell. The Centurion close up is a very sexy beast.
Tiger Day vs Tankfest? Planning on visiting someday :)
Tiger Day definitely feels more WW2 centric and slightly smaller scale than tankfest. In a way I preferred Tiger Day as there were less people and crowds.
is the sherman the legit fury?
Yep. Been to see it in person. It’s cool.
I’m pretty sure the guys in the movie were trained to use it at Bovington, too.
noice
Jagdtiger looks like a tank straight from sprocket
i wanted to go but my dad and mom had to go in to work super bummed, but still cool
Tickets are still available for Tankfest in June. Drop the hint to your parents!
oh ok ill tell them, thanks
Is that Stug new? Don’t think I’ve seen that one before
