The gift shop is pretty good as well..:03:

I didn't want to leave, especially not without taking their lovely little Sopwith Tripe home with me.

You lil bugger Jim, how did you manage to sweet talk the IWM chaps to let you stand next to the Sabre? Beautiful pictures mate :salute:

Wait a mo...

*rummages through picture collection*

That's the same Sabre that flew at the Bentwaters airshow back in 2010! Awesome stuff, beautiful aircraft! :up: First Sabre back at Bentwaters since the 1960s, was wonderful to see.
And Memphis Belle too, probably the most famous B-17 in existence!

The Rapier system is interesting, I always thought the optical seeker was on the main body of the weapon rather than to one side. Although I guess in the era of HARM weaponry it makes sense to put any emitters away from the missiles. :yep:

I knew you'd find a Banana in there somehow! :up:

Nice 109 there, are visitors usually allowed to get that close, or was it a special deal on behalf of the modellers group (which I presume is who you went with?).

Only a Brit could say that to that abomination!:timeout:
That is one of those fugly Spanish ones with the Merlin engine that has been repainted to look like a German one.

:/\\!! I didn't spot the engine exhaust in the wrong place! I've not played IL2 in too long... Mea culpa Herr Schroeder!
