Any Stillbrew Chieftains in Kent?

Hi Guys,

 

Does anyone know of a Stillbrew Chieftain in the Kent(ish) area that I could get my hands on to measure and photograph, I have a friend who is building a 3D model(computer) and he says he just can't get it right, as he's in Tasmania Chieftains are very few and far between so he can't do it himself,

 

cheers, Kev

Duxford has at least one. Slight distance from Kent

 

 

True, but from memory Duxford has it's vehicles behind rope, makes it a bit hard to take measurements,

Bovington would be better, you can get closer but I wouldn't be able to get on the vehicle and measure the

Stillbrew armour.

They may let you get on to take measurements if you ask and explain the reasons, it may even be outside opening hours. I have had free range at Stonehenge to take photographs before it was open for the public that day. Just make a phone call to the curator.

 

The moral of the story is "If you don't ask you don't get." ;)

 

Regards

John

I've escorted a modelmaker around a vehicle at Duxford before. I even held the tape measure :)

One sat by the roadside, at a paintball place just outside Ancaster, Lincolnshire. Looks like we're getting further from Kent every post!:D

 

It'll be Scotland next!

 

I cross posted this on here,

And it turns out there's one just across the water from me in Essex at this museum,
