Trip to Duxford (1 Viewer)

[TomB]

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of joining a small recon patrol of the main show brigade for a visit to the totally awesome Imperial War Museum Duxford, world class museum it is and that is said without a hint of bias!:wink2:

The patrol was made up of our leader Mr Clive Gande, Louis, Ed , Howard and his charming wife Jenny and myself. Thanks for a really enjoyable day guys it rounded off the best Toy Soldier show weekend I've ever had:salute::

I was put in charge of finding our way around this huge airfield and its exhibits , this soon proved a costly mistake ^&grin^&grin However after threat of mutiny was avoided and with the aid of the map Louis had we were able to steer generally in the right direction.

Enjoy the museum guys, but someone remember where we parked it!

Thanks for the info,,,,I know the original MB is on display in the US....and...I have often wondered why the Sally B was painted up as the MB ....I am not sure but the starboard side may still be Sally B......have not visited the Warbird net for ages so I cannot confirm that..... Have the movie and have the original wartime film of the MB that was made for propaganda....I think I downloaded it from UTUBE regards TomB
