shellshokt Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi, My name is Steve and I live in Dorset, not far from Bournemouth. I have always been interested in military history and vehicles. I do not have a military vehicle but it is a goal of mine to at sometime own a WWII jeep, but that will most probably have to wait until the kids are grown up and have left home. I currently help out at the Tank museum workshops as a volunteer and with working shifts I am usually able to get down there at least once a week for a 'fix' I know some of you may have mixed feelings about the Tank Museum and 'Tankfest' but I love it there. I am fortunate to be able to drive the Sherman, amongst others, and I also took part in the Household Cavalry Pageant at horse guards, crewing a Dingo. That's me then, Regards, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Britnell Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi Steve, I don't know about Tankfest but I was down at Bovington earlier in the year for a Tank day, driving an FV432, riding as commander in a Sherman Easy Eight and clambering in and out of a Pz IV, boy is the driver's position claustrophobic or what! Not only have you driven a Sherman but a Dingo as well! I'm not envious, no I'm really not envious, no, really not, not: why is Canterbury so far from Bovington, if it was closer could I drive them? But I'm not envious, not a bit! Well. perhaps just a little bit .................... Good to hear from you, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellshokt Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi Bob, We probably have met then! I was commanding one of the 432's on the southern training area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
