Recommended Posts

hi gang,

i went to hendon london, with a friend a few months back and what a place that is the lancaster is the main attraction there and looks superb as do the other aircraft, the pictures aren't in any order but there are alot to be put on so be patient, i will do this over a few days,if any of you guys ever go to england try and visit this place it is FREE to go in !, so glad there was alot of seats to rest

i think there will be something about the pictures that appeals to everyone ! enjoy..........

Nice one

I'm going to Hendon in a couple of weeks, these have just proverbially wet my whistle!

Seems to have changed considerably since my last visit when I was a nipper, looking forward to it

Blimey, when did the Sunderland sneak in?

that was a new one on me ! if anybody does go make a detour to the sunderland there is access to the inside :thumbsup: look at some of the pictures of the sunderland you'll see the steps :wicked:

What on earth is the huge biplane in the background of your tail on shot of a Camel? I no nothing of WWI solly!!

Camel? I think you mean Triplane! The big twin is a Vickers Vimy. We need to give you some ejukashun young man!

Is Hendon the official museum of the RAF??

Sure is, along with Cosford and the various other places where restorations are done.

peebeep
