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?

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