RAF Museum visit

On Sunday, a group of England Project acolytes went to the Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon.

If you’ve not been there and you ever get the chance to go you should jump at it because it really is one of those museums that is worth the trouble. Entrance is free though the experience is worth much more. Indeed, this is the first museum I have been to where we actually shoved paper money into the donation box at the exit.

For your viewing pleasure, The England Project will be trying to put up a picture or two a day of what we saw all grouped under the category RAF Museum. The images were taken with a Canon s20 digital camera often under very poor lighting conditions.

Spitfire MkIX. Just a model this one I think, but full size and a very welcoming sight as you drive into the museum car park.
