RAF museum Hendon. A very good museum, I think it's as good as Duxford...and you won't have to travel out of London.
Look at the list of aircraft on display (including a Sunderland and Lancaster): http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/E...rce_Museum.htm I'm certain there is a Wellington too, but it's not on the list. The Battle of Britain exhibition hall is excellent.

If you get the chance to hop on a train to Folkestone/Dover, the BoB memorial at Capel-le Ferne, situated on top of the White cliffs;
http://www.battleofbritainmemorial.org/the-memorial/ Also, not everyone's cup of tea, but the RAF's Church of St. Clement Danes in central London. Last edited by ATAG_Dutch; 04-05-2012 at 01:46 AM. |

Hendon RAF Museum
Imperial War Museum London HMS Belfast...sorry seems HMS Belfast is currently closed and will not be reopening until after Easter 2012. But u can take nice pictures cause it is anchored near London Tower Bridge Churchill War Room if u have enough time to go near Cambridge u can visit IWM Duxford and the Shuttleworth Collection at the Old Warden airfield (WWI) This is my favorite tour in England Last edited by pupaxx; 04-05-2012 at 12:53 PM.

I don´t know the other ones in the UK (i know several across the US, Germany and Spain) but I must tell you that Hendon is indeed an excellent museum. Worth to be included in your agenda.

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. http://www.shuttleworth.org/gallery.asp Better still, buy myself and my lady a firkin of beer and we'll take you there ourselves Best Regards, MB_Avro. |

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 http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/
