Tim Gosling looks at a partnership between the South Africa Armour Museum and the Sandstone Heritage Trust which has put a unique collection of military vehicles on display
‘The military vehicles held at Sandstone are all directly connected to South African military history’
I am sure I am much the same as most readers when considering destinations for family holidays. The most important consideration for me is “are there any military vehicle museums nearby”? One country which I am yet to visit but which is definitely on my wish list is South Africa and yes, there is a military museum there which I would like to visit.
In 1995, Sandstone Estates bought a farm within the Eastern Free State which had been in the same family’s ownership for 150 years. With the purchase of the farm came a wonderful collection of old machinery including Field Marshall and Lanz Bulldog tractors and other old but still serviceable equipment.
