Default Imperial War Museum Duxford

Well after the morning at Auto Finesse I took the opportunity to run 30 minutes up the M11 to Duxford, not been since I was about 12 and although I've driven past a few times I'd not had the opportunity to stop. Great day out but not cheap so buy tickets in advance and take a picnic if you're making it a family day out.


There was a lot to fit in in the time I had so didn't take loads of photos

























A piece of the steel work from the World Trade Centre





It's not all aircraft, they have a huge hall of land land based military equipment from WW1 up to kit that has come back from Afghanistan

This was quite interesting, it's the engine from a Sherman tank, it's actually five 6 cylinder engines joined together.



This was giving pleasure flights, sound on take off was amazing

Missed this one flying as was in one of the hangers but certainly heard it



Victor is slowly being restored, will be great to see it along side the Vulcan when it's finished.
