More RAF Museum Pictures

I know Geedee has already posted most of these, but the more the merrier right? Sadly the Battle of Britain exhibit was closed and I spent most of the day working in the archives. All the kids were at school though so I could walk round the exhibits in peace












I'd forgotten just how big these things are, the prop blades were bigger than me!


Part of a Gladiator
















Not the prettiest aircraft ever made, but still striking








The more you look at it, the more ominous it gets..............






















The empty car park also allows me to do this, my two favourite past times in one!
