    Thanks Mark – I knew there wasn’t much, but was expecting a little more than just that! Better than nothing though

    Did you get a photo of their fantastic Bristol F2B Fighter? Surely the best static ‘Biff’ in the world, in my opinion

    Saw it on there, but was wondering if anyone on here had actually seen it, or knew if there were any photographs of this (I think) unique aircraft

    These chaps seem to be the ones in the know for British service helicopters – they’ve just received a Wessex, so may be of use, plus there’s another Wessex’ on site

    I’ve always wanted a ride in a Nimrod!

    I’ve done two eight-hour sorties in Nimrods, I certainly know now why they nickname it the ‘Vomit Comet’!

    In the Manchester Science and Industrial Museum, which is very good and has some interesting exhibits

    Simple answer is, you don’t! Unless you just want a cockpit shot….

    Supposedly there’s a Canberra in there somewhere

    Not sure of where to go for a pint – only been to Leeds once before, but as i’m moving up next weekend got plenty of time to find a decent pub. Staying at a place called the ‘Tannery’, PM’d you a link to the place

    May be seeing both of you too – i’m going into my second year at LBA, (did my first year of the course at London Met, which I don’t reccomend!). As it’s my first year at LBA though, I may be with you guys for an introduction day, haven’t heard anything off them yet….

    Despite the numerable faults, Hendon does have an absolutely fantastic collection, and despite the fact i’ve just moved out of the area, i’m looking forward to a return visit. Were you lucky enough to visit the Claude Grahame-White hangar before it closed at midday? Also, did you spot the Ford Model T Hucks Starter around the museum anywhere?

    The fact you can’t see them! Anything you can think of is in the way – the huge kiosks, vehicles, other aircraft, stairways etc. The information, missiles etc are great, but it’s as if the aircraft don’t actually need to be there

    Another thought about the place, is that all the interactive screens iin the Cold War Exhibition have ‘do not press’ on them, so the kids touch them, and this shows them that they have to press it so you can do something with the kiosk – however, from what I saw at the museum today, this has the same effect with signs on/near exhibits saying ‘do not touch’!

    No, that was the Comet not the Nimrod – the Nimrod was never used for commercial passenger service. It was only the early Comet’s which had the problems due to square windows – the later Comets, such as the BOAC example at Cosford, had more circular ones and were fine

    Other way round – the Comet was the first passenger jet to enter commercial service, Nimrod came way later
