I was over on the Island last weekend for a kit car event and visited this museum just outside Newport. It is on the site of the tank restoration building that went out of business some time ago. They only opened in May of this year and are still building up their displays. I talked to the two volunteers there and they are extremely keen and we may be looking to pay a visit next year with model tanks on one of their "special days". These are some photos of the vehicles they have got on display and which they use for live displays. So if you are ever on the IOW for a visit then visit the museum, there is a website, just search for military museum on the IOW.
