Large men vs. child-sized planes!
If you like looking at planes then the RAF Museum in Hendon is great, several hangers with a few planes in, then one massive hanger with looooads of planes in it!
While I understand that this technology comes from and is designed for war, the section in the new visitor centre glorifying/justifying it, including a kids game controlling a UAV “taking photos” of targets below seems a bit much!
Though don’t let that stop you from going if you like planes. It’s mostly just a shitload of planes in a few buildings. —

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR2 XV424, displayed at the RAF Museum's Hendon site, is probably the best example of an F-4 to be found in the UK, and looks stunning parked alongside her replacement, the Tornado F3. XV424 entered service in 1969 and was operated by a number of famous squadrons, including Nos. 6, 54, 41, 29, 111, and 228 OCU, the Phantom training unit. She ended her flying days as "I" of 56 Squadron on 31 July 1992, with 5058.40 hours on the clock, and was delivered to Hendon by road later that year. Perhaps her most notable moment came in 1979, when she was given a special paint scheme commemorating 60 years since the first non-stop transatlantic flight made by British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown, who flew an adapted Vickers Vimy bomber from Newfoundland to Galway. From the RAF Museum website: "5 hour 40 minute Commemorative flight eastbound from Goose Bay Newfoundland to the UK, flying subsonically. Flown by S/L A.J.N. (Tony) Alcock MBE (a No.56 Squadron Flight Commander and nephew of Atlantic Pioneer Sir John Alcock) and F/L W.N. (Norman) Browne, the latter a former Phantom Navigator, brought back from his Buccaneer Squadron for the occasion. In-flight refuelling was provided by Victor tankers of No.57 Squadron on five occasions during the flight. The crew carried the original toy black cat mascot - 'Twinkletoes' - from the 1919 flight. Two days later the same crew flew the aircraft to Greenham Common, Berks to open the International Air Tattoo." #aviation #aviationlovers #aviationlover #aviationinstagram #aviationphotos #aviationgeek #aircraft #aircraftspotting #aircraftlovers #planes #planefan #planelovers #planefans #airplanes #planespotter #planespotting #avgeek #avgeeks #instagramaviation #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #warplanes #aviationdaily #f4phantom #phantom #mcdonnelldouglas #rafmuseum #fighteraircraft #alcockandbrown #fastjet

Royal Airforce had two twin-engined planes, which were my favourites since I was a young boy; Mosquito and Bristol Beaufighter. I saw them both @rafmuseum, but it would be a blast to see them flying! #avgeek #aviationpics #avnerd #aviation #aviationphotos #warbird #warbirds #oldairplanes #rafmuseumhendon #rafmuseum #raf #royalairforce #bristol #bristolbeaufighter #beaufighter #militaryaviation #militaryaviationphotography #nikon #nikonphotography
