    Hope you liked it because I loved it. I have to mention that it isn't the easiest museum to visit in terms of location and architecture but for sure a must one for enthusiasts!!!

    (ps I have no idea why some of the photographs upload sideways although they appear normally in my pc, sorry for that)

    I think Duxford is the best IWM

    It's (Manc) an interesting building although personally I found it lacking in depth BUT it would seem all museums are moving towards the masses (press-button, moving images on screen etc) with less and less quality pieces (for the likes of us) on display...but as I was told recently by one museum rep...."we're not for people like you"....apparently....

    "Mr King"...many thanks for your great photos...you must've felt so at home in the Manchester sunshine........ ;-)

    The way the British national identity has and is being slowly erased I am surprised the IWM even exists these days...

    Duxford is the a good one , the London IWM I thought the same lacking something!!!.. A good section on the Spies & SF world, & the VC section was good but you cant take photos??. Cheers Terry.

    Too much space filled with too little. The actual exhibits look lost in the vast expanse of the place.
