In the <b>Kuwait Arena, at The Tank Museum,</b> Bovington, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 23rd June 2023.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 <br />
<b><u>About the photograph.</u></b><br />
<br />
This is a West German <b>*</b> manufactured <b>Leopard 2</b> main battle tank formerly in service with the <b>Canadian Army,</b> and I’m not sure if this tank belongs to The Tank Museum or is a guest tank.<br />
<br />
<b>*</b> At that time, Germany was split into two halves, West Germany and East Germany, until 1990 when they were reunified together under one name.<br />
<br />
The Leopard 2 was developed in the 1970s, and entered services in 1979, replacing the Leopard 1 (which entered service in 1965).<br />
<br />
There were about 3,600 variants built, and generally weight between 55 to 66 tonnes. They have a <b>liquid-cooled V12 twin-turbo diesel</b> engine, that gives out about 1,500 hp at 2,600 rpm, with a fuel capacity of up to 1,200 litres, giving those tanks a maximum speed of up to 43 mph, and an average range of 170 miles.<br />
<br />
The main armament is a 120mm gun, along with secondary armament of 7.6mm machine guns, and those tanks have a crew of 4.<br />
<br />
The Canadian Army have approximately around 100 of the Leopard 2 tanks, and had sent a few to Ukraine.<br />
<br />
<b>In the above photo:</b> This is a close up photo of the re-enactor playing the role of the tank commander, and is seen in the turret’s hutch , peeking out.<br />
<br />
Notice the <b>Maple Leaf</b> symbol on the turret, this is the insignia for the Canadian Army.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
<b><u>About TANKFEST and The Tank Museum.</u></b><br />
<br />
The Tank Museum is found next to the British Army military base, simply called <b>Bovington Camp,</b> and is used by various tank regiments.<br />
<br />
The writer <b>Rudyard Kipling</b> once visited Bovington in 1923, and saw some damaged tanks left from the First World War. He recommended that a museum should be set up.<br />
<br />
However the museum was simply a shed, and was not open to the public until about 1947, when the museum was finally set up.<br />
<br />
By about 1982, the museum was expanded and modernized, it housed many various different tanks in the Exhibition halls, along with working tanks which are often show in the live action arena.<br />
<br />
The museum also has the only working <b>German Tiger I</b> tank, known as <b>Tiger 131.</b><br />
<br />
<b>TANKFEST</b> is an annual live action re-enactment event showing off various working tanks in staged display, in the museum’s showground known as <b>Kuwait Arena.</b><br />
<br />
