2021/08/24 RAF Museum North of London
π 2021-08-24 01:01 in England2021, Flying, Nflying
As part of my trip through the UK, I went to visit the best flight/plane museums, and the RAF one north of london was the easiest one to get to first. What I have now seen is:
  • London Science Museum's Airplane Section
  • RAF Museum North of London (this one)
  • RAF Museum in Cosford (30mn from Birmingham and Stafford)
  • Imperial War Museum in Duxford
  • During my last visit, I got to see the airplane section of the science museum in london, and that was quite good already. This was obviously bigger though; a very decent collection which is easily worth 4H at least:

    And that was it for the overview, definitely a nice museum worth visiting and easy to access via public transport from London.
