JoelH Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 TANKFEST has become one of the established must-see annual military history shows, bringing the story of tanks, tank crews and soldiers to life. With an unrivalled selection of modern and historic moving armour displays, living history, family entertainment and explosive mock battle demonstrations, TANKFEST has become popular with both the enthusiast and the more casual visitor. The emphasis for this years show is Evolution – the evolution of tactics, equipment, technology and the enemy threat. With the future of the Main Battle Tank a near constant topic of debate in defence circles, we pay particular attention to the developments and innovations, both past and present, that have helped maintain the relevance of the armoured fighting vehicle as an essential part of an army’s capability. With this in mind, live vehicle displays, with expert commentary, will illustrate how the debate on the future of the tank is not a new one – and investigate the future of a machine whose demise has so often been predicted. Just to let everyone know about Tankfest 2011, more details here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I'm thinking of going on the Saturday, but as a MoP with my Son-in-Law. Anyone access to any cheap tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelH Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 If you book tickets in advance you get 10% off, which is a good deal. You can ring up or possibly buy them on-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
