Bovington Camp

You've got Duxford Imperial War Museum.

You've got Bovington.

Portsmouth.

Yeah,

So the first, the very first one w- was there at Leuchars, uh, in, in, in Scotland, and there's now one at, uh, Clyde by, uh, Faslane on the naval base on the west of Scotland.

Uh, you've got them in Blandford, Bovington, Salisbury Plain, Sandhurst.

There's a...

They're se- They're all...

Today we are delving into a recent event the Dorset Garrison hosted, bringing an afternoon of TED Talk style events around leadership and what it means.

Our man on the ground who knows more about the goings-on in Blandford and Bovington than anyone else I know is resident breakfast show presenter Jason Herbert.

Jason, how you doing?

I'm all right.

[laughs] Jason, you are never a pain, and it is always an absolute delight to get to converse with you, and particularly today because you're in a very inspired mood, and always lovely to have you.

Uh, the, uh...

Of course, you can catch Jason on the, uh, BFBS Blandford and Bovington Breakfast Show every weekday morning.

Jason, thanks for coming on the Daily Dits podcast, and hope you have a great rest of your day.

William would spend Monday to Fridays at the barracks in Bovington.

So his time was completely taken up with military commitments.

And at the weekends he ended up staying up with his new friends, his new Army pals.

I'm gonna go to down there, which is down there, isn't it?

Bovington you're talking about?

Bovington is that not near Portsmouth?

Is that...

I don't know.

And I still, I've seen...

the DD tanks up the Armoured Museum here in Britain at Bovington.

And I look at those things and I think how guys found the courage to man those things.

Think if you were the driver of one of those tanks crawling up, then you had to go, you had to drive a mile through the sea, with the sea lashing against the canvas sides.
