Well I made it there eventually after dodging a train strike on one day! Great museum. Lots of roadworks outside at the moment but that didn’t upset anything.

Thanks for the info/travel advice which worked out perfect – after I found the bus stop (there was a market on outside the rail station which kind of wrapped itself around all the bus stops!)

The early days collection was as everyone says – splendid and in the original 1930s airport building which was interesting in its self

Yes I wish I could speak/read French better due to the aircraft info boards – many boards also have a picture of the aircraft as you see it in the museum – which was a bit weird and pointless.

The models were fascinating and immaculate.

I thought the WW2 stuff would be wider ranging but the B26 made up for that!

The Concorde x2 was well done but I was slightly spooked by the cutaway bits on the inside of the 747 – hmmm doesn’t look strong enough!! (glad I was on Eurostar!) – a nice newly painted Canadair 215 outside in the sun too.

I’ve yet to go through my pics but there was an IGN Hurel-Dubois HD-34 parked up with a few other aircraft on the other side of the airfield which looked interesting!.

They have just opened a new cafe although i didn’t check it out so I sat with about 2000 school children outside with my packed lunch! The weird thing was that inside the museum halls (other than in the Concorde hall) there did not appear to by anyone there! – where did they all go??…….

Not aviation related but transport related all the same! – It’s the first time I have been to St Pancras station since its remodel – a truly amazing difference. The Barlow train shed looks stunning and the undercroft has finally been put to good use (well you could argue that the original use for storing beer was just as good!) – a great mix of the old and new in my book
