Being a Norfolk-dweller I make the trip at least annually, along with Duxford. I didn't know the Goat was retired though! I went on it the first time I visited, must have been my 11th birthday. A 4-tonner though? I've spent enough time in those, thank you very much.

I spoke to the lady in the shop about the goat, and she said they'd had 5 over the years, but they're pretty much retired now. Said they might try and keep one going for big days and shows, but that they're pretty much done

That sucks, it was an excellent ride as I remember. I like to think that early experience prepared for the thrill of providing top cover on Snatches and Vectors! Seriously though, still a good museum, and has the added bonus of the proximity of the beach. I took some potential T2k players of mine there last year to help them get a feel for military machinery.

I'd definitely recommend it. On my way home today, so I'll try and get the pics up at some stage over the weekend. A good mix of vehicles in the museum, including a lot of ones that are on my dream 'wishlist' for when I win the lottery :-) The fact that they have a couple of Abbot's that you can drive (if you pre book) is another strong point.

At least without the Gamma Goat you can go home without a measurable hearing loss!
