The galleries visible contained mostly WW1 aircraft but were closed when I visited. So I'll need to go again...
Dakota with Paras - part of a Congo exhibit
Maurice Farman 'Shorthorn'
Dassault Mystere

Good old Mirage III
Fouga Magister - rather more colourful then the one I built link

Looks rather good there Tim- quite the mix of exhibits.
Cheers,

I lived for many years just around the corner. Many happy Sundays and indeed lunchtimes spent there , exhibitions were changed regularly. There was a fine gallery that went from the End of WW1 through to the D Day landing beaches. You ended up walking of the ramp of an LCA. I used to particularly like the Imperial Russian Guard exhibition with all its mess silver.
The Russian silver collection was excellent, interesting history as to its movements.
Was there a Part 3 to this series?
Pete
Well worth a trip.

I think I could spend days on end there!

I wondered who'd spot that. And I knew it would be you. Regular readers will be not at all surprised to learn that Part 3 follows Part 4 in due course.... I could renumber them but where would be the fun in that?
Wow!
Hi Tim,
Trying to mail you but getting a mailbox full, response.
