Hi all. As some of you may have seen on Vicky's thread I graduated from Salford University yesterday. The graduation venue was the Lowry theater at Salford Quays........ Right opposite IWM North So today we wandered over to take a look and post some photos for the benefit of those who have not been.

And yes in pic 5 that is Monty's beret

Sorry if some of the pics are a bit fuzzy. It was quite dark in there.

The pic of what looks like a hose pipe attached to a load of scaffolding is actually a deck mounted flamethrower that was on HMS Vindictive and used in the raid on Zeebruge in 1918.

Nice, I really should go there as it is not too far from me at all. I have been to the London IWM and loved it.
