Default Bovington Archive?

Hey guys,

I have a question, has anybody had any luck contacting the Bovington Tank Museum?

I've sent several inquiries in the past expressing interest in purchasing copies of archive drawings, technical manuals, etc... and I have never gotten response.

Any advice?

Thank you.

Chase,

I have contacted them with no issues. Admittedly, his was many years ago.

See https://tankmuseum.org/contact-us for specific contact forms, using these may help to get your enquiry in the hands of the right people. If they do not reply to that I'd give them a call.

Fingers crossed,

I sent 2 more emails, one using the contact form and one directly to the archive email address.

I'd love to go to Bovington in person... but unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the pond.

I got a reply!

I believe the key to getting an answer is to email the archive directly instead of the using the contact form on the museum's website.

Even better they have the information I was hoping to find.

It is a small first step... but maybe one day I will be starting a thread about a Cruiser Mk.IIA replica build
