I was very moved by the tribute
paid to American airmen of the Mighty 8th Air Force. It
took the form of a memorial and the display of several
U.S. aircraft including a B-17 Flying Fortress.
The Battle
of Britain section of the museum includes aircraft flown
by both sides during the summer of 1940 including Spitfires,
Hurricanes, ME-109, ME-110, Heinkel 111, as well as other
lesser known types. Take the time to catch the movie about
the battle which runs throughout the day.
The museum also
has a restaurant and a very nice gift shop with memorabilia
and an extensive collection of aviation books on sale.
To get to the museum rent a car, or if traveling by the
Tube, take the northern line and get off at …..
There are signs from the station to the museum and it is
about a ten minute walk. Cheers! |
