We're a community museum telling stories from the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough and how the British Army garrison has shaped this area.

We're part of Hampshire Cultural Trust. Want to volunteer with us?https://tinyurl.com/3spar5wx Two surviving 1890s brick-built barrack blocks, a 1930s wooden barrack block from Queen Elizabeth Barracks, Church Crookham and Field Marshal Montgomery's 'barn' that house the museums military and local history collections. There is a large collection of military vehicles displayed either in the Montgomery Gallery or in the grounds of the museum.

There's history here besides vehicles and pointy stuff - a lot on how the area was developed. Whilst waiting for paint to dry the vehicle team helped out with cataloguing some of the records - here they are with some building plans (other way up lads)

Go fast alloy wheels in racing red (primer).

Surprisingly the hull and turret on a Scimitar and other CVR(T) family members are a lightweight aluminium alloy. Makes these things fast.

Today's work on the Scimitar gave the turret a fresh second coat of its classic green. The wheels have been stripped, etched and sealed with two coats of zinc primer, and a bit of detailing was added around the air intakes. The vehicle is steadily emerging from decay.

We've got a rare new prototype tank at the museum - recent full rebuild and installation in our off road area. Hopefully a crew will soon settle in and provide area protection of our garden area.

Great job by UK Power Networks volunteers who built this novel bug barracks as part of a garden revamp - planters rebuilt and painted ready for planting. Thanks all.

Strictly cant compare when the 2nd Queens Regiment of Foot are here for training - we had period red uniforms, synchronised oblique steps, flashes, bangs and smoke. 40 points from me.

They do a great display and very informative. If you missed them today then there are here again on the following days

As part of our preparation for Remembrance this year this wonderful poppy blanket was lovingly made to keep our horse warm as the nights draw in. Thanks very much Norma - it is much admired.

Today our volunteer team made solid progress on the Scimitar, some more ancillaries removed to our 'workshop' for painting.

Remember - "Assembly is the reversal of disassembly" for those that remember a certain brand of car manual.

And some breaking news - we're hoping that our friends Arty and Marty from the Garrison will be in to rearrange some of the vehicles.

One we prepared earlier - our Mk1/2 Ferret kept the vehicle volunteers busy this year but hopefully you will agree she looks much better for it and gives the museum more kerb appeal when driving past...

Unfortunately, due to reasons out of our control, the Military Gallery part of the museum remains closed today. We are hopeful it will be open again tomorrow. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.

Cute Ferret Mk 1/2 00EA84 after a lot of TLC by our volunteers. It was going so well until I walked into the flag pole while filming...

Our post showing the Scimitar swim screen generated a bit of interest so our vehicle volunteers decided to do a bit of research and found the following images, albeit for a Scorpion but all part of the CVR(T) family. Scary.
