Had a fleeting visit to the Midland Air Museum on BH monday. As it was a BH they had volunteers with the cockpits open on selected aircraft including the Vulcan. The Argosy was opened up too so we could get to go inside. I had been before but on the model show weekend and therefore was otherwise occupied.The volunteers were really well informed and answered all our questions, as well as letting my Ethan sit in the cockpits and "go flying". On to the pics... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Good stuff mate, there's some lovely old jets there. That F-100 rear end shot is useful reference Certainly looks like your lad enjoyed himself
