Royal Engineers Museum, Chatham, Kent

 Royal Engineers Museum, Chatham, Kent

Now I haven`t visited this museum in nearly 26yrs, I`m not even sure if I was married back then?

The museum is situated a short walk up the hill from both Chatham Maritime and Fort Amherst, so you could if you have a day to kill (and a patient partner) visit all three together 😀

Gate guardian a Chieftain AVRE

The grounds/carpark of the museum has a huge collection of various engineer vehicles

The cost to enter was £12, but this allows you multiple entries over a 12 month period.

The collection starts at the forming of the corps of engineers and progresses through to the present day.

As we drove past i noticed they had added new gate guardians and also pulled out and painted several WW2 era guns and put them on display.

Looks like a 40mm Bofors to me?

Another better shot of the AA

This Bofors may well be on a ship mount?
