I know i know, lots of photos however i must reclaim my spot here.:) and i feel its my responsibility to bring you photos from said museum should you decide you may want to visit. Plus these are better than the last time i went, and some newer members may want to see.
Anyone?

Very nice. The first two are research aircraft,  the Avro 707c (sort of mini-Vulcan research delta) & Saunders Roe SR53 composite powered (one rocket & 1 gas turbine engine). I'm possibly one of the few members here to have seen both these types in the air, if not these actual examples. ;) 8)

Got any more of these rarer types? What about some of the WWII German types I believe they have there.

Nice to see the real 707 (much before Boeing...). Originally manufactured at Bracebridge Heath, about a mile north of RAF Waddington. Not a lot of people know that. Dave Maltby of VC-10/BAC1-11/Camet and Trident fame was building one a while back, but I don't think he's doing too much now.

Shame...
