Lockheed Constellation low over Yateley 18:45.
Amazingly quiet aircraft.

Daks , Vulcan , Connie, and a lot more Farnborough Rocking 🙂

At about 4:45pm today two fast jets in close formation buzzed the M3 at Junction 4a. Did you see them and can say what they were?
Still nothing over Yateley 🙁

I’ve never had a go around. How much of a delay does that cause?

Low enough to make you duck!

They could get one over on Just Jane if they got both Lancs to land and park them next to their static example.
I wonder if the RAF will give her an escort into UK airspace? If not they should do. A nice bit of good PR for the RAF with the opportunity for some interesting photo’s which they could sell for the Benevolent Fund?

I took my two lads (8 & 11 years) there last month. The walk through Wellington section was one of the highlights for them as it gave a good appreciation of how it would have been. They were slightly horrified that all you had between you & the outside world (& bullets) was some fabric. It definitely increased their understanding & interest. A lesson there for other museums perhaps.

I visited Brooklands a few weeks ago. They had a very simple demo of a bomb release with a bomb release `tit` to drop a wooden bomb. Kids loved it.
I also enjoyed the walk through. Too much emphasis is placed on real and realism. Mock ups, interaction (mechanical, not computer) and models all go down well with children, myself included.
One of the things I miss about the IWM Lambeth is they seem to have removed all the models.
Used to love staring at the 1:72nd soldiers storming Gallipoli or opening the trenches (they must have been victorian, press lever see inside) to see the soldiers inside.
