Duxford


This weekend we went to Duxford. The Imperal War Museum's attic. It consists of six hangars full of aeroplanes. Had we set off earlier we would have had time to see more than just two of them. However, the ones we did see were spectacular. We looked in the new "Airspace" hangar (History of British aviation) and the American collection. Airspace has a prototype concorde you can go inside, a vulcan bomber and many others.
Buccaneer.




















The last Spitfire (Mk 24F)












The only criticism I can offer is that the aeroplanes are so closely packed it's difficult to photograph them. Here, the spitfire is framed above by the port wing of the Vulcan, with the Lancaster behind it.
