Museum of Army Transport, Military museum in Beverley, England.
The Museum of Army Transport was a military museum in Beverley housing an array of vehicles and equipment from British Army operations. The collection included tanks, trucks, railway locomotives, and other transport machines used across different periods and campaigns.
The museum was founded as a repository for military transport vehicles and became an important center for studying military logistics history. It closed in 2003 due to financial difficulties, after which its collections were distributed to various institutions throughout England.
The exhibits demonstrate the progression of British military transportation through artifacts, vehicles, and materials that shaped warfare logistics over different periods.
The museum was located in Beverley and easily accessible for visitors from the surrounding East Yorkshire region. The exhibition space provided ample room to view the large vehicles and equipment collections adequately.
The museum housed the first production Blackburn Beverley aircraft, a large military transport plane. This aircraft, marked XB259, was later relocated to the Solway Aviation Museum in Cumbria.
