Across the field
Whilst waiting for the traction engine in the previous photos I took this.
The Aldershot show
This is a Challenger tank which was at the Aldershot Military show held in Aldershot in Hampshire.
This tank belongs to The Aldershot Military Museum.
Tank on the move
At the end of the show the tank was driven from the showground to the museum.
We were very lucky to have a ride on the tank back to the museum, it's a long story so I won't bore you but it was fantasic what a way to travel. I only hope that one day I get to do it again...
