Cosford RAF Museum

Continuing our flight theme, yesterday we visited the RAF Museum at Cosford. It's only a few miles from The Barn, and, even better, it's free. Here is the site map...

In the Test Flight hangar you will find the fun 'n flight interactive centre, with lots of hands-on things to try. Here is Little W flying a plane...

This is also where you find the flight simulator...

The kids loved doing the Red Arrows display flight, as they got tipped from side to side and forward and back.

My favourite displays were in the huge Cold War hangar...

As well as the planes they have displays of missiles and atomic bombs and a number of cinema booths covering the history of the era.

We finished in Hangar 1, where there is an intersting display of engines. Here is Little W next to a modern jet engine...

There's plenty to see and do - it was a full day out for us.
