SEE ARMOUR THROUGH THE AGES AT THE TANK MUSEUM

News Release issued: 16th February 2005
Head for The Tank Museum in September 2005, for an exciting journey through the history of armoured warfare.
The Tank Museum, the biggest and best museum of its kind in the world, will be hosting the largest weekend event of its kind in the South.

In a major two day event, Dorset’s Tank Museum will be taking visitors back through the history of combat to demonstrate the concepts that gave rise to the development of the tank itself.

Tank displays such as those seen at last years TANKFEST will play a significant Role in Armour Through The Ages.

The birth of ideas behind armoured firepower and manoeuvre in warfare will be demonstrated by re enactors realistically portraying our military heritage from the Roman era, and the British army will be demonstrating the ultra-modern modern Challenger II.

Visitors will be able to walk a time line among historically accurate encampments and discover more about how the armies of the past lived and travelled, before watching live historical combat displays in the Museum’s arena.

The march through time will continue through to the twentieth century, and will include demonstrations from the Museums own unique collection of Tanks and armoured vehicles in a live action display.
Armour Through The Ages is to be held over the weekend
of September 10-11th 2005.
