RAF Museum 2005

Yesterday, the England Project family and friends paid another visit to the RAF museum at Hendon, London. Not our first visit but the place is always worth seeing again. Unfortunately this time the bomber hall was closed; I think they are dismantling a vulcan so that it can be loaned to another museum somewhere.

Anyhow, this time I decided to get close up and personal with the exhibits and stuck the lens of my D70 where most lenses are too scared to go.

Here's an example of the kind of thing, this one of a Napier Gazelle helicopter engine:

And here's another, this time of a Bristol Mercury:

Now these are what I call dirty pictures and there's plenty more where they came from.
