2300 spectators came to visit the museum, this day that offered just enough
of sunshine and summer heat. It was not just local visitors, but a large part
had come from all over south and central Sweden.
Apart from the main attraction, the vehicle parade, there were also
displays of model tanks, catering and souvenirs for sale.
The original plan was to run the parade twice, but thanks to the
enormous interest, four runs were completed.
The museum is now open until 30 August 2009, at which time it will close
and the collection will be moved to Strangnas. The construction of the
new museum in Strangnas will begin this autumn, and the inauguration is
planned to take place in the spring of 2011.
The organisers wish to thank all the visitors who made the museum 40 year
anniversary such a fantastic day!
