There was some talk a while ago about going to Bovington on the Saturday before Wotan . As players will not be able to get on site before 18:30 ish , could be a good way of spending Saturday afternoon .
Without getting bogged down on the "in kit /in civvies " argument is anyone interested in meeting up as it will be open on the 6th Oct .?
It's 60 miles / 1 hour away from Wotan/UCAP , cost £10 entrance fee, and takes a good 3 hours for a look around.
Personally would want to get there for around midday , spend 3-4 interesting hours and then get over to UCAP .
Post interest below .
Count me in, Guy. 
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Doesn't cost me anything for entry. 
You could book yourselves in as group, call yourselves the "Tiger 1 appreciation society" & say you will be in period dress! I have to work the Sat so won't get to Wotan till Sunday monring,

I've booked Friday off so I will be packing my stuff on that day.
Just checking the drive time from house to Bovington - put me down for a 85% going lol
Not been to the museum since I was 15 lol

Well worth it, Del - they have pretty much the whole range of German WW2 AFVs, including TWO King Tigers!

Yup, 2 king tigers. Both the Porsche and the Henschel versions. They got a Jagdtiger there too.
Looking doubtful if I'll be able to get to this one at all, got a birthday party for a four year old on the Sat afternoon to organise and a party Sat night that I can't get out of without war breaking loose with the wife, given the distances I might have to pull out.
Im hoping to get there early enough for a jaunt round the tank museum, but i'll have to check with pota, well, his better half anyway. Depends what time we can leave. Heres hoping anyway.
p.s. I get in free to(I hope)

Would love to, dunno what time we're aiming on landing yet tho 
think its pending when small people are offloaded
My car load should be hitting Sabre and maybe the other sights of Portsmouth..
But I can wholeheartedly recommend the tank museum!
