    Visit to Duxford.

    I was in the UKicon last week; primarily for my mum's Funeral. But the day after my brother and I escaped for the day and went to Duxford.
    It's only about 45 minutes up the road from Braintree; so we arrived at opening time. Last time I was there was 1998, so there's been a few improvements.
    We headed straight off to the furthest shed from the entrance; to slowly work our way back to the café.
    The Land War display is excellent; although could do with a few more WW1 pieces in my opinion.
    But it's the aircraft that we really came to see; and this has to be one of the best collections in the world. The American hangar is full to the brim; with a B52 as the centre piece.

    The restoration hangars currently have a Victor bomber being worked on.

    Plenty of Spitfires and Hurricanes etc. The Vulcan and Lancatser are in the same hangar as the Airborne Museum. That was our last part of the visit.
    A great tribute to the Airborne forces.
