Have you visited the museum before 2016?

Around 1980 twice, once with my dad and once on a school trip.

Hard to remember, much more was outside, no VCC, and far less emphasis on people.

@@jameslangham9854 so back before Easter this year I went to the tank museum and saw the Tommy in the trenches tour. The guide was explaining to us the experiences of what young soldiers had to go through. At the end of the tour he said that this exhibition was built in November 1998. I asked him if he could bring back the original audio to the trenches and I showed him some recordings but he said for me to move on. I also asked him if he could switch on the old blue headlights above. He said he won’t because it could be too dark and his younger grandson was too scared to walk through the trenches when he took him to see. However the tour guide did mention that one morning few months ago, his morning job was to open the door to the trenches and use a flashlight to find his way to the operating buttons to turn the audios on as well as the lights. After pulling the switch to turn the sounds on, an unusual noise started playing what seemed like a carriageway train charging through the area followed up with another audio playing of some injured men in the stretchers crying out “water, water!” He thought it was a ghost calling him to fetch some water. After the audio stopped playing, he never heard it again and was very confused because he had never heard this sound before after working in the museum for a couple of years. What could be the problem that activated that particular speaker? Why did it never play again? Could it be repaired and restored?
