Somebody should have saved the Army Transport Museum in Beverley. My kids
had
hours of fun scrambling in and out of tanks, until it got a new director "
Get
off that tank you'll break it"

See, that's the thing about tanks that hardly anyone realises. They are
extremely well
protected against threats such as bullets or missles and can handle very
rough terrain.
However one thing they just cannot handle is kids climbing on them. In this
situation
it has been known for a Challenger 2 tank to be totally destroyed within 10
minutes.
Cheers
Jeff
