South Downs & WWII

Easter holidays 2019 - we went exploring in the South Downs to discover a WW2 tank wreck. We went up to Kithurst Hill, not far from Storrington. A short deviation off the South Downs Way you can find the remains of a Churchill Tank. It is British built but was used by the Canadian Army when preparing for D-Day. The story goes that it broke down and could not be moved, hence still there today! It has however been cannibalised to restore another Churchill Tank at Bovington Tank Museum. After this day our we where inspired to visit the Churchill Tank at Bovington. It was called Bob!
