I usually check the Tank Museum's site daily, and it's stayed pretty static for a long while. Today I go there & it's been entirely revamped: Welcome to the Tank Museum - Home of the Tank - Welcome to the Tank Museum - Home of the Tank Most significantly to start off with, there's now a browsable index of all vehicles on display, with a sensible description and article attached to each (be nice if they got around to adding the back collection to the lists). Sadly it looks like some of the good stuff from the previous site's no longer present, means a lot of old links to there have been killed along with some Fletcher articles & the fascinating 'collections news', but hopefully they'll port that across at some stage. Cheers, Adam.
Adam - not too impressed with their roll of honour - their spelling of the name WILLIAMS - leaves a lot to be desired at WILILAMS......Maybe you could drop them a line - or two ?? Cheers
I see what you mean Tom. They appear to have rolled the site out today, so I imagine they're still tweaking it (fair few sections look like they're ready for filling up)... they also haven't yet updated their site-specific contact email addresses. I'm sure they won't mind a nudge if it's not sorted in a week or so.
There you go Tom, Emailed a very nice lady at the museum who thanked kindly for the notification and promised would be sorted ASAP. Few weeks later - All Williams's now correctly remembered.
Adam - Must have been Jane Devine you e-mailed - her husband Frank is an old 16th/5th wallah - it's still missing Norman Ingram's death on 18th sept '44 on Coriano Ridge - he had just taken command of "B" squadron 145th regt RAC when he started his first battle....
