RAF Museum Piccies

A few from me.

Milestones of Flight or should it be spot the Milestone.

Well judging by the other pictures the lighting gets better late in the aftrnoon, its a bit of a mish mash and there is a lot less space than I was expecting. the displays are good, however there is a lot of wasted space (cafe, control tower etc) also an obvious space opposite the P-51, I wonder what they will fill it with.

A general over view


I am not a fan of hanging priceless one off aircraft like cheap model kits, however it does give some good angles


They also seem to ge getting a perch fettish.


Bomber Command Hall

Still very dark in here



IMHO they either need to rename this hall or swap some exibits over. Maybe Bomber Command Memorial Wing?

Main Hall

A view of the perched icons. Sugar is looking much happier for herself now the moves are finished and she does seem to be getting some TLC.





Tiffy on a perch, nope I'm not going there.





Battle of Britain Hall

Now don’t get me wrong, I really like the film presentation they do, it does bring renewed life to the place, however I wish they could bring the screens up in between and make it a bit brighter.

If you thought the Bomber Command Hall was dark! Thank god for Image Stabilised Lenses.







Grahame-White Building

Magnificent!!

Very much a work in progress, but just stepping through the doors takes one back 70 odd years.





I am really looking forward to seeing how this develops.

(Some of the piccies have been saves at quite a low res to speed up download times, hence the pixelated appearance)
