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

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.

Better still, buy myself and my lady a firkin of beer and we'll take you there ourselves


Best Regards,

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
http://www.iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford

Hendon is nearer to London
http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/E...rce_Museum.htm

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
