You wouldn’t have enough memory capacity nor battery power… I had over 9000 pics from when I was there, and my wife pulled the external drive cord without first ejecting it… and I lost everything…
Happy Birthday when it comes around. Enjoy the time there, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate David.
Make sure you book ahead just in case
@CMOT already done mate, museum and hotel bagged and tagged
@Klaus-Adler David, Happy Birthday !
That should be a fantastic visit and lots of fun! Hopefully, there will be a little extra time to check out the museum’s gift shop too!
@Armor_Buff Wade if i buy any more models there maybe an expensive divorce on the cards lol
well folks, I’m a 40 minutes drive from the museum. I’m near Blandford Forum in a place called Child Okeford, which is a very rural setting.
tomorrow I depart for a full day at the museum, hopefully it’s mostly indoors as it scheduled to rain all day tomorrow.
Its all indoors bud and I highly recommend Duxford on your way back as that will take two days easily.
@CMOT it’s a no go on duxford, after bovington, the next stop is Blackpool for the little wife to enjoy herself for a bit.
Have fun David.
went a bit nuts in the souvenir shop
also my phone battery went from 100% to 3% whilst taking pictures
How much was that?
it’s part of my 50th birthday tour so you don’t want to know how much I spent.
You are not dedicated enough if you still had 3%…
Nice haul.
@petbat hey Peter I was also using my wife’s phone as well and hers went from 100% to 15%
Now that is some serious picture taking kudos
!
Nice Haul!
No excuses. That last 3% will be the image you wont have when you need it.

Hope you had fun! That trip is for sure on my bucket list!
I don’t suppose you might have gotten some pictures of their archer?
If he didn’t, there are some here:

…and the one that I caressed two weeks ago in the Australian Armour and Artilley Museum is the subject of a walkaround here:

I have one picture of it from another angle but after a drive to Blackpool that should have taken 4 hours but instead it took 9 hours I’m a little tired and grumpy…still the birthday cards and presents are making feel loved again
