Tiger 131 is a 50 ton armoured behemoth which has captivated the British public ever since she arrived in the country back in 1943 and it's astonishing to think that she continues to attract huge crowds of admirers from all over the world and is in arguably better condition than she was when she made her combat debut in Tunisia during WWII. She may be a military relic from a time most people would prefer to forget, but she is also a unique link to the machines we only usually get to read about in books and see in a handful of grainy black and white pictures from the Second World War. A restoration project which started over thirty years ago has seen the Tank Museum raise its profile exponentially over that time, putting them on the world map as the custodians of the most famous military vehicle in the world and ensuring this captured WWII German tank continues attracting many thousands of visitors to the fair county of Dorset.
