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.

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.
