RAFM Hendon ~ 01Jun15

As nothing really changes at Hendon I wasn’t going to post any photos as the primary purpose of my visit was to try out, under variable lighting conditions, the new Sony FE 28mm/f2 lens to which you can attach on the front of it a 21mm Ultra Wide Converter or a 16mm focal length Fisheye Converter giving a 180deg angle of view. Not every ones cup of tea is a Fisheye. Well there were some changes since my last visit so it would have been churlish of me not to post. The first change has nothing to do with the museum but on the walk up from Colindale tube station, the foot path from the roundabout up to the museum is being re-laid and is no longer an obstacle course trip hazard. The Claude Grahame-White office on the first floor of the Grahame-White Watchtower is now open to the public and in the main museum I got to see an aircraft movement. Actually they were just pushing back the Mk.Vb Spitfire between the Phantom and Tornado. In the BoB hall, the film wasn’t showing again and all the lights were on but the change from my last visit was that the balcony around the OPS Room was open to the public so a few different angles to photograph. Photos in the order they were taken.
