Hey everyone!
A bit late, but a few weeks ago my family and I visited the War Memorial of Korea. Got some nice pictures of the grounds.
The great thing about this memorial site, which is in Yongsan, Seoul, is that there is a large outdoors exhibit showing tons of tanks, artillery guns, aircraft, and even a full size naval cruiser. There are also various helicopters and missiles. Fascinating for a World of Tanks enthusiast.
I wish I had taken some more pictures but attached below are some of the ones that we did take. Everything in the museum is amazingly interactive: you can step inside the armored troop carriers and sit at the wheel, you can (kind of) move some of the flak guns around, and you can step on some metal platforms and see what the tops of the tanks look like and stuff. I didn't get on the cruiser, but there were tons of people walking around the decks and the insides of the ship.
Unfortunately it was drizzling that day but we still got some good pictures.
1: The entrance of the War Memorial of Korea, with the Seoul Tower in the background
2: One of the plaques at the entrance of the memorial "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"
3: Me in front of a K1 tank. This is the first Korean-made tank and is heavily inspired from the American M1A1 Abrams tank, with a German-made cannon. As for the WoT shirt I'm wearing, I won that in a Facebook competition and got it delivered from Jinx for free I'm wearing that shirt and the white hat for the rest of the pictures.
4: A view of the outdoor exhibit of tanks, with a Republic of Korea Air Force plane in the back (don't know the model). The kid with the blue shirt (and the blurred head) is my little brother, who pestered me to blur his face out because he gets bashful like that. I'm to his right, on the giant artillery tank.
5: The finest examples of post-WWII sky cancer that South Korea has to offer
6: My little brother and I crouched behind an ATC. This museum is awesome in that you can get inside ATCs and check the insides out. Apparently they used to let people climb on top of the tanks but there must have been a few incidents or something of people falling off, so now the tops are fenced off. A pity...
7: The legendary M46 Patton which was so useful in the Korean War. A rather ugly frontal view but it's the genuine thing.
8: A side view of the M48A3 Patton!
9: Pointing a flak gun at yours truly.
