Moggy, I went with my son and Father in law three years back and we stayed at Petwood the night before. My son sat in the rear gunners position throughout the taxi run, I sat in it for a few minutes but started to get claustraphobic. I too stood/crouched in the blister of the upper turret as an elderly lady next to me sobbed her eyes out. I didn’t like to ask but she had obviously lost someone close during the war.
All I can say to those who haven’t yet done it is…add it to your Birthday or Christmas list. There is NOTHING like it. If the owners (the Panton brothers) are there make sure you introduce yourself, two wonderful gentlemen.
