MASSIVE NUMBER OF MINIATURES ON SHOW AT TANK MUSEUM

News Release issued: 13th September 2004

A sinister group Daleks will be among a sizeable force of radio controlled models invading The Tank Museum next weekend.

Amongst the towering collection of armour, visitors to The Museum over the 25 & 26th of September will have the added bonus of witnessing the South West Model Expo – the biggest model exhibition in the South.

Museum spokesman Nik Wyness said; “This is a successful annual event that attracts well over 2000 visitors from all over the country. Inside the museum there will be a variety of stalls and displays from over 200 individual groups who are bringing a number of different radio controlled vehicles from tanks to planes. Outside, visitors can browse a number of full size classic cars and steam engines – and see radio controlled cars race at speeds in excess of 60mph.”

The highlight of the weekend will be at 1300hrs of Saturday, when the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire will be making a fly past (subject to weather and operational conditions).

Nik Wyness added; “This event is ideal for both enthusiasts and those who are simply curious. There will certainly be plenty to see and do, with visitors being given the chance to have a go themselves – taking part in radio controlled tank battles and learning build and fly their own aircraft models.”


NOTES TO EDITORS – Photographers / Film crews will be welcome at this event.
