Science Museum - Aircraft


I took my two youngest brats to the Science Museum in London a couple of weeks ago, they both seemed to enjoy them selves, so did I. I took a few snaps of some of the planes and thought I'd share them with your good selves!!

30 minutes to go and I'm off round Posties for a game of Ancients, with the rest of the Rejects, hopefully a report will follow, its Assyrians v Neo Hittites, fingers crossed Fran's on the other side so I can kick his big hairy ginger butt!!!!!!



Not at all sure what plane this is, can anyone help???


A Spitfire and Hurricane

Obviously German but????




Gloucester Meteor

  3. Pretty sure that Jerry kite is a Me 163 Komet - the first rocket (not jet) powered aircraft. We have one here at the Australian National War Memorial too.

  5. Great pictures! We went to the Detroit Science Center (right before they "temporarily" closed it down) and saw the rockets they used in the early space program - amazing. Its like you know they are big, but you just don't realize how big until you are standing right in front of one!!

  9. The rockets go up, where they come down, that's not my department says Verner Von Braun.

  12. Reminds me of my brothers bedroom. We'd build model planes then hang them from the ceiling. I'm not sure what I'm most excited about, reading the post about today's game, or finding out what Angry says when he reads this post.

  16. Looks like a great place to visit,

    Always wanted to see a V2 up close and personal. I take it this is 1 from operation backfire, or maybe just painted like it?

    Cool planes too
    Cheers
