Great War truck Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Now known as the National Military History Centre (a bit PC), this was the Victory Museum in the Netherlands, bought lock, stock and barrel a few years ago. I have an opportunity of going there in a few weeks time. it is a 12 hour round trip from Illinois. Is it worth the effort? I know the Humber Hexonaught is there which i would really like to see, but is there anything else to get me excited? Anybody been? http://www.militaryhistorycenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=60 Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Tim, It was most of the collection from the Victory Museum near Arlon in Belgium. Apart from a few rarities like the Hexonaut and Morris-Commercial PU8/4 there is not a lot to see. Unless you are interested in seeing almost all variations of the German half track, and not very well restored, I would not bother to go there. But that is just my EUR 0.02 worth.

Great War truck Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 Patton museum it will be then. One hell of a long drive but you have to do these things. I am sure that it will be worth it when we get there. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just read that Henry Venetta's Museum is closed. Henry passed away and his collection was sold to a certain Reed Knight of Knights Armament. It has been moved to Florida. Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Thats a shame. In the end, due to the bad weather i didnt make any of the museums i intended to visit in the USA. But when i got home, the weather was even worse. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
