Documentary: "Saving the Tiger: The Story of Tiger
131"
On display at the Tank Museum, Bovington is a very
special WWII tank: Tiger No. 131. Captured intact on the
battlefields of north Africa in 1943, it was shipped back to the UK
for detailed assessment - and virtually wrecked. This film follows a
race against time to restore the tank to full running order, making
it the only surviving Tiger tank in the world to run under its own
power - and its original Maybach engine.
The film traces
the development of the tank, with interviews with veterans and
unique archive footage.
