smiley - ok Excellent - thanks for writing about this for us smiley - biggrin

" tanks that could not be repaired at the front were transported back to Bovington" - perhaps could have a bit more explanation, just to make it fully clear that it's not the front of the tank.

"Rudyard Kipling disappointedly remarked" - the paragraph perhaps could do with reordering, to clarify the situation: tanks were being collected at Bovington, but were not being given the care and attention they needed, so Kipling was disappointed and suggested they should be preserved in a museum.

Something seems to have gone funny with the paragraph about Fury (2014) - "Fury was the first film ... to star in film Fury"

"This hall also includes the World of Tanks area where visitors can try that game for free." - there is a computer game called 'World of Tanks'? Ah, yes I see it is mentioned later smiley - ok

Excellent about access for wheelchair users and people with mental health conditions smiley - ok

"On small scale these take place during school holidays but in the popular Tiger Days when the Tiger and other Second World War vehicles are run, culminating in the annual Tankfest." - something missing here?

That is good that the ticket is an annual pass, as there is so much to see to reward repeat visits smiley - ok Excellent about the Youtube channel, too smiley - biggrin

I tweaked the penultimate paragraph to celebrate that the museum's YouTube channel is one of the most popular museum YouTube channels in the world smiley - earth, as per the BBC report.

It also is the World's first museum to host an indoor marathon (participants run the 26.6 miles in over 50 laps).
