Paul 'scruffy' Martin looks around the tank Museum The Tank Museum (previously; The Bovington Tank Museum) which is a collection of armoured vehicles in the United Kingdom. With almost 300 vehicles on exhibition from 26 countries it is the most wide-ranging collection of tanks and armoured vehicles in the world. It includes the only working example of a German Tiger I tank and a British World War I Mark I; the world's oldest surviving combat tank. The collection is held at Bovington Camp in Dorset in South West England. It is about 1 mile north of the village of Wool and 12 miles (20 km) west of the major port of Poole. The camp trains all sections of the British Army in tracked vehicle driving as well as repairing and maintaining the vehicles in its workshops.
