paulbrook Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Indeed. Just for the record the Dyson 50ton Tank Transporter trailer that resides there (and we have been unable to take possession of since the museum closed first time around) belongs to one of my clients, who purchased it, a second trailer, and an Antar Mk3a from Mr David Arnold a long time ago. Should this trailer be offered for sale or attempts made to dispose of it in any way I would be grateful for a heads up. Many thanks.

PanzerJohn Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) According to this it re-opened 7 July, but looks like there have been problems http://www.iow-charm.org.uk/ http://onthewight.com/2015/04/10/police-stop-managers-of-military-museum-entering-site/ Edited August 5, 2015 by PanzerJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Child Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) It looks like they may have changed name again, but it is definitely still going. It's now the Wight Military and Heritage Museum. There's some more info in this (World of Tanks) video. Something went wrong...

RAFMT Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'll be taking the little'uns over to see their grandparents in a few weeks; if I get time I'll try and stop by and see how things have turned out. It was a nice collection when I last went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
