Oddly, I have got some shots of a WWII shelter (once I've uploaded), and the cockpit of a VC10 and various other bits of keepsakes.

I'd love to see the VC10 stuff.

It was the aircraft owned by the Sultan of Oman. Very plush for the day. Would put some houses to shame.

If your into the space side of flight the Kennedy Space Centre can be quite interesting.

Keep on running Fenton!  Good old Fenton/Benton whatever his name was, he didn't pay that much attention to it when his owner tried to stop him!  Smile

The English Electric Lightning. The planes are crammed together, so it is difficult to get any whole shots. Concord was worth the admission fee on its own.

 

 

Add in the Harrier and Spitfire and that is all my favourite planes in one place.

As a complete contrast but still flying, not far from the Museum of Flight is the Butterfly and Insect World
