Last Sunday, Mordu and I looked around for a short daytime adventure and discovered that we live 3 miles from the RAF Museum. We walked over which gave us a chance to see some parts of the city we might not have otherwise. Here are some pictures from the museum:
A reconnaissance bomber plane with a sky blue under-belly:
Two "boat planes":
Planes with fierce names like "vampire":
And less fierce names like "chipmunk":
Planes with various animals painted on them like this one with a kangaroo:
And this painting on the nose of a B-24 bomber:
And this one:
Maybe we should fly the planes?
We also saw various models of ejection seats:
And walked through a Short Sunderland of the kind flown during WWII and the Battle of Britain:
We saw an autogyro helicopter (click on the picture of the sign to enlarge it if you want to read the text):
And various squadron badges:
Including this one used by the US Navy, which Mordu particularly liked:
