Re: Coventry Air Museum
Great Pics Al, seems you had a brain fart though mate, that Wyvern is actually a Gannet
Its a great museum, well worth a visit on Bank Holidays and other various days throughout the year as they have open cockpit days and last August BH we went and were able to sit in the Vulcan along with many others.

Re: Coventry Air Museum
I had planned to go along to the show but ended up with my nose to the grindstone all weekend slaving over a hot Mac. It is a great little museum though, 15 minutes away from here so it's one I do visit quite frequently. The staff are very friendly and if you can get along there at a quiet time they're often quite happy to open things up for you.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?
