It was, tried the "Steam Fair Ale", pretty good stuff, kept the dust at bay.

The WWI and WWII exhibitions were excellent, the metal figure is the "Angel of Mons" and the 8 or 9 foot beech carved figure represents a tribute to all servicemen and civilians that died in both conflicts.

Wide range of exhibits there, om15, looks interesting.
And with the morn, those angel faces smile...

Does the red and white colouring on the tank signify it was red cross first aid tank? ;)))

It’s just a stripe, so not first aid just loocus aid.

The red and white stripes were identification aids because the Germans started deploying captured British tanks on their side.
