Muckleburgh Museum Norfolk

 On a family holiday in Norfolk a few years ago, I was "allowed" to visit a small tank museum. Not on the scale of The Tank Museum in Bovingdon and the sheds were quite cramped making photos difficult. At the time I was working on 1/87 Israeli vehicles, so mostly I took detail photos for reference.

    Superb stuff.
    That Centurion looks great up close.

      Not perhaps in the same league as the Bovy display of one cut in half!
      I was frustrated I couldn't get as high as the AMX13 to get some decent photos.
      The BTR-40 was fascinating; the information indicated it had been captured by the Israelis on the Golan Heights from the Syrians, before being used by the IDF or Border Force until bought by the museum. I found it compelling that it had made its way from the USSR to Syria, then via Israel to the UK. If it could talk it would have some stories...
