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, Dorsets 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 Museums 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
