The latest news on Tiger 131 Latest news from ABRO Bovington concerns a trial fit of the Maybach V-12 engine into the hull.
Latest word is that everything is going well.
The Tiger should be returning to Bovington in October. On the 13th January 1999 the Heritage Lottery Fund announced that we had been awarded 96,900 towards the restoration of our German World War II Tiger Tank. Unfortunately the restoration work has proved more complex than the initial investigation report highlighted, this is because of problems with the fan drives. This mechanical problem has resulted in the Museum requiring a further 28,000 to complete the project by next year. Therefore we are appealing for donations to assist with the funding required to complete this restoration project.
