Here are some pictures from the Royal Air Force Museum in London.  Admission was free. The cafeteria food is great and a good place to grab a pint.

This is one of two Royal Air Force Museums, highlighting Britain’s military aviation history and development.  There are also displays consisting of WW2 U.S. Aircraft, especially in the “Bomber Hall”.

There was just so much to see there but here are a few pics.

Those magnificent Men in their flying machines!  I have no idea what this one is but it went on the bottom of a balloon I think.

Wow!…look at that!  All kidding aside, women and children became victims during the famous Battle for Britain and the London Blitz, during 1940

I liked this sign.  In old world terms, I sure it meant “Happy Nose”, I hope.

I just gave you the tip of the Ice berg of what’s at the Museum.  If you go to London and are an Aviation buff, this is a must see.  I hope you enjoyed this small sample.
