Greetings Catfish,

I cycle past the Chieftain on my way to work every day. I've spent a fair amount of time in museums this summer but never thought to take a camera to work!

I've always been interested in aircraft - as a teenager I used to volunteer for restoration work at Cosford and I was lucky enough to get my pilots licence when I was 17. Unfortunately flying became far too expensive so it's now lapsed, but I still love seeing the aircraft and WW2 aircraft still remain the most iconic for me.

Since buying SH3 I've turned into a warship geek (mostly thanks to Subsim!) but aircraft remain my first love.

Nice pics Jim. I got chatting with a Tornado pilot last time I was in Minhad - he definitely didn't rate the Typhoon (although he could just have been jealous!).

The modern aircraft at the museum:

A little ironic how they have a P51 hanging right behind the BF-109. At least to me it is.

It's just a small scale model. So no danger.:O:

Last of the pics. There was an awesome collection of scale models from the earliest attempts at flight to the latest aircraft (up to the F-22 and F-35). Tempting though it was to photograph them all, I decided to stick to two GWX favourites then those in my new mod (shameless plug here :up:):

Plus, this being Germany, there was a small excuse for these models:

Hope you've enjoyed the pics, and if you're ever in Hannover the museum is about 25 minutes drive from the airport.

That would be worth the trip :hmmm:

BEEEP! BEEP! PEDANT ALERT!

It was called the D.VII, not the Dr.VII. The Dr. designation was for triplanes only.

Oooh, is that a Pup in the WWI replicas?

Nope, it's a Camel.

More importantly, is that a Fokker Eindecker just to the left of it?!

Best regards.
