Popular Post VH-KDK Posted August 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2022 Southern Dorset and my first use of live weather in 2020. The Vans is over Bovington Camp which is HQ of the Royal Armoured Corps. As well as the clearly visible heathland training area, to the right is the Lulworth Gunnery Range. The prominent bend at the left bottom of screen is Clouds Hill and on a nearby road in 1935 T.E Lawrence had a motorcycle accident which resulted in his death. The worlds largest collection of tanks is located on the camp at the Tank Museum. In 1923 Rudyard Kipling visited the camp and suggested some of the damaged tanks could be exhibited which resulted in the museum which was opened in 1947. Finally to the left of the tail is the Ape Rescue Centre of Monkey World. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" started with that accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
