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.

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

):

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

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?!

Love that F104, such an iconic aircraft. Great pics WB
