All Tankfest passes have now been sent out and should be with all who have contacted us, very soon.

It looks like it is going to be a great weekend with more customers and models, at this event, than ever before.

We will be arriving around lunchtime on Friday, for those who are arriving on Saturday or Sunday, please remember that the museum will only let you drive your vehicle on to site to unload between 7am and 8am each morning.

Our pitch is located behind the VIP Marquee, the same as last year. We are F6 on the diagram below.

We are really looking forward to what should be an excellent weekend.

Day two and another sell-out. Pity the two people who allegedly travelled from Japan to be turned away at the door without tickets. Another great Armortek day and good to see the Belgian and German teams.

This year we were sited around the back of the VIP tent, so that some didn't have far to go for lunch....

The rain mostly held off but clearly made driving conditions tricky...

Nearly thirty models and proud owners:

And thanks to Gill and Mark for another memorable day and to all who stayed to help with the tear down.

Denny still has a ticket or two for Yeovilton on July 11th otherwise it's "We'll meet again" in October.

Home and unloaded! That was our 8th Tankfest and I think the most enjoyable to date.

Thank you to the brilliant group of customers who joined us this year with their superb models. As Stephen said, a sell out show, that seems to just gets better every year. A huge thank you to you all especially for all the help we received putting the stand up and then dismantling it all at the end, it really is appreciated. This year the tents came down in record speed!


A few photos below, will put more on Facebook later and add a link here.
