After going to Kemble yesterday( http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6962 ) in the brillliant sunshine we went to Bovington expecting and dressed for the same.
it p*ssed down!
Long traffic jam, long queue,rain, then youngest threw up over Mrs D behind the T-62.
Tanks were good though.

I was there exactly 2 weeks ago. Missed the Tankfest, but the weather was wonderful.... oh yes, and the government were paying.

Had one surreal moment.
Took little-un into the "portable 6 man urinal".
Shared it with a WW2 Red Cap and an NKVD Officer.
Wierd!

Are you sure it was a toilet and not a 'timewarp' to 1946 Berlin?

Did you see the Sherman Owen? You will have noticed it is impossible to travel inthe back...yet we did.
