Hi all. To respond to the initial post from ajmac…

 

It’s not true!

 

TANKFEST has always been dominated by Museum vehicles. But we do invite guest vehicles every year – and 2013 will be no exception. TANKFEST has become an ideal venue for newly restored vehicles to make their show debuts – and we are always interested to hear from anyone who has something new to show off.

 

As you can imagine, the cost of tank transportation is high, so we can’t accept all available offers - as much as we would like to!

 

Last September we held an event that was predominantly guest (Military Vehicle Trust members) vehicles, and we will be doing the same. So put Saturday 21st September in your diaries, and contact us if you would like to exhibit!

Fantastic news.....as that has always been my hope for the Loyd Carrier....so long as someone can bring along a 6 Pdr to pull behind it. Clive, Rob, fancy a trip down to Dorset sometime before 2020? :undecided:

Does the museum foot the transport bill for invited vehicles then?? I always thought it was down to the owners to arrange/fund...

In the main, The Tank Museum foots the bill – hence our concern about cost.

 

Sometimes owners will make their own arrangements and treat the cost as a charitable donation to the Museum.

 

On other occasions, we might be particularly keen to have a certain vehicle at the show, in which case we would make a contribution to the cost of haulage.

 

So, it can vary depending on what we’re doing and what we’ve been offered.

Thanks for the clarification! :D I doubt I'll ever put it to the test as I can see no reason why you'd be interested in an OT-90!! :D Maybe if I ever win the lottery get get the Churchill Crocodile of my dreams......
