Navy & Suburbia - a morning trip with pics

After Volkswagen denied the substantial discount for a Fox I think I deserve for months of good legal advice, I choose a Peugeot 206 as my new car.

To enjoy the new mobility, I planned a trip to Tigre, 30 km from Buenos Aires. Wife tought we went there to relax and for some sunbathing. Wrong. Destination: Naval Museum.

30º celsius, a hot an humid day in Buenos Aires area. Car & Me.

Some interesting thing in there. My fifth visit, and sure not the last one. But first time I took the Camera.

Anyone knows the name of that puppy? Bought from Germany in 1936 (a full battery) for the Marine Corps. My personal favorite of the museum.

Then I met an old friend. We used to snorkeling together...

An Exocet AM 39.

Battleship Moreno. Once the pride of the Argentinian Navy and the best battleship in South America.

Hedgehogs...ready to fire.

Time to go to the park.

A Panther, a Skyhawk and a Trojan in the Naval Aviation Section.

Now the Malvinas war veteran, A4Q Skyhawk, from 3 Naval Fighter & Attack Sqn "Tabanos". Isn´t she pretty? Now, If i could arm it with the Exocet...

F9F Panther. The first jet fighter in the ARA.

The original bridge of ARA Alferez Sobral. Was attacked by british helicopters May 3 1982, when she was searching for a BAC Canberra crew. A missile punched the bridge, killing her skipper and others. She made the voyage to port. Still in service, with another bridge, of course.

Note the missile hole.

Naval guns. Wife was getting anxious. Time to buy and ice cream, some walking and tactical retreat.

Hope you like it!

The museum is big and covers from the Egiptians to the modern day. Those pics are just a sample.
