Vehicle Information - FAMM Project 2017

Project "Operation Helping Hand"

Do you have any experiences with military vehicles?

Were you in the Army using these vehicles, or perhaps worked on them as a mechanic?

The Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum (FAMM) are working with the Museum to overhaul and revitalise the information boards for their vehicles collection, to make them more informative and attractive to visitors of all ages. The Museum has 20 vehicles and 5 artillery pieces, and FAMM would very much like to hear from anyone with any personal photographs, anecdotes, or experiences with any of the types of tanks or vehicles at the Museum.

If you have any information to share, please contact us.
