Wassa flight lab?
The kids show and idiot presenters were in the middle of the aviation gallery. We had planned to be at the museum virtually all day but we were in a pub in Covent Garden by 2:30 so it’s not all bad.
Although I dislike aeroplanes being hung up, I’m prepared to make an exception for the Science Museum, although not for bolted to a wall. They have very little room, some extremely important/significant airframes and they couldn’t be pushed outside anyway. I think I’d actually prefer the S6b to be hung up out of harms way than accessible to be mauled by all and sundry.
Flood mentioned the train collection. I’m not interested in trains or railways, I’m interested in steam locomotives (and Deltics – what was the engine designer on?) and was looking forward to seeing Caerphilly Castle and various other bits I’d heard about. Railway section seemed now to be the size of a reasonable garage.
As I said, disappointing.
Went to the Natural History musem with a school trip thousands of years ago. Hated it, I’m not interested but I think I would have remembered a hanging whale. There was a Blue Whale but it just sort of laid there.
