What is the word 'foremost' (lead para) intended to mean. Does it mean largest or best?--Light current 07:04, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Both by a large margin :o)--MWAK 16:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't take small children or anything else that would distract you. I went last year with my parents and my 6 month old son - my wife had a day off - grandad pushes young'un thorugh at high speed - taking camera with him! - I rush through trying to catch up skimming the exhibits and miss the stuff I wanted to see - including the TOG.

Secretly I was hoping for some of your pictures :o). Well you know what to do next time: lure the old gentleman to the Mark I, give a gentle push and close the hatches. People will think the calls for help are part of the sound effects and you can go off sightseeing and photographing at your leisure. Small sacrifices have to be made for the advancement of knowledge ;o).--MWAK 09:16, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I got one - of the (British) Mk III or IV light tank.GraemeLeggett 09:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as it would be nice to expand Light Tanks of the UK anyway...--MWAK 10:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tiger I

"It includes the only working example of a German Tiger I tank" The one displayed in the Musée des Blindés of France is working too. 90.9.24.105 (talk) 23:16, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source to confirm that? Hohum (talk) 23:44, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, it's the Tiger II they have which is working.90.9.24.105 (talk) 00:22, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Open Air Era

I wondered if it would be possible to include more on the earlier days of the museum. We went there in the sixties when there was much more outside and when reading Mr Fletcher's Osprey books he refers to tanks on display outdoors - sadly too many did not survive... does anyone else have memories of those days?
