Snapper Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 On 25th Januar, 2005 I went to the Museum of Army Transport at Beverley to witness the closure for CMV. The army had brought in a transport regiment of Oshkosh transporters and Atkinson METs to take the exhibits in to store. I suppose some have been distributed to other museums and some of the stuff may have been sold or scrapped. I promised ages ago that I'd post up some pix from the closure, and having found the appropriated disk while looking for something else, it's time to blitz you with snaps. There are a lot, so I'll say when we've reached the end and then you can ID stuff or comment. Does that make sense? Quote

Snapper Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 These are the last two snaps...I hope you've enjoyed this bit of indulgence. I was very lucky to be able to make a unique record of the occasion and I treasure these snaps...MB Quote
Degsy Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Brilliant snaps Mark, a unique record and strangely enough there is a pic in the eleventh batch of the Jungle Bug currently under discussion in a different thread, there are also pics in a different batch of the Hunting Percival Harrier, who owns these now I wonder.

snowtracdave Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks for sharing your pics Mark . I was fortunate enough to visit many years ago . A great shame it had to close . Quote
chevpol Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 its apity that place had to shut down, didnt I read somewhere that a wealthy enthusiast had something to dowith buying some (all?) exhibits? I know some of the railway locos are on loan to a couple of preserved railways, but does anybody know what happened to the west german railway coach that used to be outside? My last visit was to a antique fair held there, was very upset at the state of the exhibits. Mark Quote
