    Tiger 131 film hunt.

    Evening all can anyone help me
    I'm trying to find the B&W training film of Bovington Tank Museums Tiger 131, from 1945-46 ?.
    I've trawled Utube with no luck, had a thought I'd seen bits of it with the IWM logo on it ?.
    Thanks for your time, Ian

          Apologies all, I forgot I'd asked the question !.
          Firstly, thank you for you replies and suggestions
          If you watch the film (Normandy ) there is a shot almost at the start, it shows an overlaid image of 131's wheels in black and white, I'm sure that was part of the postwar instructional film ?, thoughts would be appreciated.
          There is a film of 131 being driven up behind a hill, appearing through possibly desert grasses I presume in Tunisia after its capture
          Or..am I just dreaming
          Thanks for your time all, Ian.

              Thank you Anthony
              On the IWM website there are more films with longer segments of 131, unfortunately they are not viewable !.
              One day we might be able to watch them.
              Many thanks again, Ian
