Duxford Air Museum–28th December 2012

As  a birthday treat we took a trip to the Imperial War Museum Duxford near Cambridge. It was a very wet and windy day but that didn’t really matter as most of the things to see are indoors. We managed to get round most of the exhibition halls except for the American Air Museum and Air and Sea – I’ll make sure I see them next time.

Here’s some of Hun Yieng’s photos and then some of mine. I’ll leave you to decide why hers are all of the family whereas mine are of the aircraft and the displays!
