Most of the vehicles and military equipment at the Cobbaton Combat Collection are packed in two hangar like Romney buildings. Vehicles are restored, often from derelict condition, not to look pristine, but as a tribute to their original crews, like vehicles just back from the front line, with muddy tyres and tracks, and festooned with the kit that would have been carried by the soldiers who drove them to war over fifty years ago.
An 0ld stone and cob barn houses some of the civilian displays. These cover Civil Defence and ARP, National Fire Service and Auxiliary Fire Service, Women's Land Army, Home Guard, WVS, Red Cross and St John. This is the world of evacuees, searchlights, Mickey Mouse gas masks, Anderson and Morrison air raid shelters.
