Excellent pictures.

Nice pictures, Jim!

Do you have some pics from inside the midget sub? It looks enterable.

That's what I initially thought but if you look carefully they have glass windows which you are meant to look through.

The inside was fully viewable with the naked eye but the camera flash simply bounced of the glass making the pictures unviewable.

Nice pics jim, looks like no change in the land war section but still a good layout. As I recall on my visit some years ago there were a load of Tanks outside under repair in a fenced off area.

Yep, still there but hardly worth taking shots of.

It's been 21 years since i was there, the place looks unrecognisable..

Great pictures, is that the prototype Eurofighter?

I saw it on it's first public display in 1995 at the RIAT in Fairford, when the engines were not finished yet and it flew around with the same engines as the Tornado..

Great place, it was the first time i saw a V2 rocket

Really liked the pictures, thanks!

Your the second person to make reference to the V2 yet I only saw two V1's

Where was the V2?

Well it was 21 years ago, lot's of time to move things around, maybe they swapped it with another museum for something interesting they had, common practise i guess.
