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.

Fair enough...never seen one but would love too, they certainly had other rockets such as Scud, Patriot etc.

Never saw the V1 or V2 on my visit to Duxford in the 1990's. RAF Hendon has both, the V2 is all green. Imperial war museum has a V2 & the Aerospace Museum Cosford also has both of them, their V2 is the Black & White version.

BTW: Hendon has a three drum enigma machine.
