Holiday Pics....finally!

[AeroplaneDriver]

Well I'm finally getting around to posting pics from the two air museums I visited in England back in September.  

First is the National Museum of Flight-East Fortune, Scotland (Edinburgh)


First up one of my personal favorites-the first Jetstream 31


I hope Santa brings me one of these! (the Trumpeter version).  


I hear these were fast....


I cant believe these are in museums now.  I remember when they first entered service.


Big Iron


more of the same...


This old lady had a bit of history about her.

Now a few from the North East Air Museum in Sunderland:


Danish Hunter


Another Vulcan-two in two days!  This one isnt as clean as the one in Scotland though.


A little reference material for the Airfix versions in the stash.

And finally...


...you are my sunshine, my only sunshine....

Wow ! Those are the greatest museam aeroplane pics I've ever seen ! So life like ! Awesome stuff.....



Now on a more serious note.....

I do like 'em ! Lucky you, to see a pair of Vulcans like that....wicked. Love the markings on the one. It's also neat to see the Bloodhound. Those things are huge in real life ! Gotta a gree with you about the Tornado, I feel the same way about the Hornet.....seems like yesterday they came on strength, and now they're ac battle damage toys and museum pieces !



Cheers !

Good pic's. Especially like the bloodhound pic, more authentic than the one outside the RAF museum at Hendon - that one is painted overall green, same shade for the missile and the launcher. They are big!!! I certainly wouldn't want to be chased by one anyway...
