Aug 2011: Royal Air Force Museum #1

It was a saturday and the kids were at a loose end so I decided to take them on a museum run. First we discussed going to the Natural History Museum but then the bloody tube wasnt running and I wasnt going to drive into town. So we decided to go to the local RAF Museum. Here are 6 photo essays on it.

The Museum is spread over a vast area. There are 5 exhibition halls containing over 100 aircraft. Here is a good overview of the museum so I wont spend time talking about the planes themselves. So the commentary will be light.

These are couple of launches that the RAF used to go about picking up downed airmen.
