The War Museum is a good visit, and not that far from central london, just on the south side of the Thames.

SO w1nd6urfa, what did you see?

phoenix1963

Try and go to Old Warden near Biggleswade.

It's an old aerodrome with a grass runway. Anywhere that has Biggles in the name has my vote.

I was there on a conference a few years ago and If you have a diving license I can recommend an exhibition that is 15 meters below the surface right in the outer part of the Grand Harbor of Valetta ;) HMS Maori, a tribal class destroyer that was sunk by Stukas in 1942...

Very easy dive and very accessible from the shore of the harbor...

EDIT: Oups - old thread but I stand by my advice for other people visiting Malta ;) And there is a Blenheim and a Beaufighter amongst other aircraft out in the ocean... Rather deep though in most cases...

Best aviation museums:-

Duxford near Cambridge, may even be flying displays, check their program

Hendon is nearer to London

If you are near the South Coast, Tangmere Aviation Museum near Chichester is fairly small but a gem. I'll put you in our Lightning Simulator :)

The Aviation Museum is great! they have restored a Spit IX and a Hurri recovered from the sea:

There's the remains of a Swordfish awaiting restoration:

A Tiger Moth which apparently is airworthy:

And the grandad of IL-2 ;)
