Editorial
There are few tanks or indeed military vehicles
that polarise opinion, but the wartime German
Tiger 1 tank definitely creates a ripple of
excitement whenever it’s mentioned. In this issue
you will find a report from the latest outing for the
only running Tiger tank in the world, but it got me
wondering about the different emotions being
felt by visitors to the show. I would imagine that if
there were WW2 veterans in attendance that
perhaps came across the Tiger in action there
will be memories of the deadly threat it posed,
while those that have never seen a Tiger before
will have been excited at the prospect of seeing
it for the first time. No doubt the enthusiasts will
have been capturing the event on film for
posterity, but one thing is for sure, few tanks can
draw crowds like the Tank Museum’s Tiger 131,
and that surely is an indication of the magic and
mystery surrounding this very special tank. I’ll be
back next month – Ed.
