There’s also some quite big bits of a U2 in a non-aviation museum in Trinidad, a seaside town a couple of hundred km from Havana. When I went to Havana they didn’t seem to care what photos I took of the Sea Fury as long as I kept off the grass. Having little ability to plan I wandered along in Havana, looked down a side street and saw a Sea Fury. Reminded me of when I saw a Mig 21 in the middle of the road in the Czek Republic, 1993.

The airport at Havana has a lovely old IL62 converted to a cafe/bar. The beer’s quite cheap and it’s much more civilised than the airport itself. Horrible paint job on it, but if you ask really nicely they’ll let you sit in the cockpit. Cheap beer, sitting in a jet cockpit, making jet noises, watching 1950’s Chevies and Buicks going past out of the cockpit window…….aaahh.
