Has anybody ever visited the Tank Museum at Bovington, Dorset? I have been twice now and can heartily recommend it - especially with remembrance day coming up. They have the biggest collection of tanks in the world and some of them are just huge - a German WW2 tank weighs in at 75 tons! 8)  They also have exhibits regarding WW1 and the creation of the tank.

The static displays are ok, but the best part is when they have the tanks running outside on their active display.

3 pics from a few years ago of the outside display...
