Excellent - thanks for writing about this for us
" 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
Excellent about access for wheelchair users and people with mental health conditions
"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 Excellent about the Youtube channel, too

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 , 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).
