Snigger!

Unfortunately, I am otherwise engaged on Sunday…  evil:

To be honest, there was too much to see in one day already.  cloud9:

They let you on most of the aircraft and have volunteers that can tell you something about them and the controls, etc. You can get into the cockpit of the VC10 too!  cloud9:

The sad thing was realising that this was the hub of British aviation, design and production, Wellington bombers and Hurricanes were manufactured there in vast numbers (they built a Wellington from scratch to taxiing out in 24 hours once), they built among other things the Viscount and Vanguard, BAC111, VC10 and 30% of the fuselage sections of all Concorde where built there. (breathe) Plus they did loads of the structural testing of Concorde there…

Yet now it is a museum and the UK makes what – the Wings of Airbus?  Angry9:

It's not that I don't believe you look like Basil Fawlty but somehow the mental image of the Darwin family at home is more
