The museum of the Royal Artillery, this collection was started by Sir
William Congreve and has grown ever since. It now occupies two
buildings: first from the beginning of gunpowder weaponry to the Second
World War, with light cannon upstairs and vehicles downstairs, and
secondly from the end of the Second World War to the present, all of
which deals with vehicles. They have several unusual prototypes,
including a Green Mace and an SP70 self-propelled gun, as well as a
Z-battery rocket launcher, towed and tracked Rapiers, and even a Humber
Pig.
