Apparently its a great place my dad was a tank driver there, maybe that explains my liking for Range Rovers. |

it's a great place even for normal people. MonkeyWorld is very close and also worth a gander.

Robert, If you are flying to Southampton (Flybe) look at Limoges as well as Bergerac. A little further for you but the times might suit better. John

A great part of the world to visit. Spent every summer there as a kid. Tank museum, fleet air arm museum at Yeovilton, Portsmouth Dockyard, swanage railway, plus loads of interesting places. You could easily spend weeks there. Look at flights to Bournemouth too. |

On your museum visit day Robert, park up on the approach road which runs paralell to the Army test drive area. There are pull ins where you can watch all manner of current British Army vehicles hooning about - superb !

Bovington is great, and the other attractions mentioned, I would also add the Haynes museum, I was sat behind the man himself when we were there in August!! |

OK looked at all the links and things we have to visit, (great forum, with many great people) and think we should change planns, this can no longer be a "men's day" it must be a "men's week" at least. Thanks very much guys |
