Imperial War Museum (Duxford)

David came up to Cambridge and we explored the Imperial War Museum. A great place with lots to see. Dave, who is a plane nut, was absolutely in his element.

There's something rather beautiful about fighter planes, despite the destruction they cause. They're so sleek and predatory, like steel falcons.

I liked the reflections of the clouds in the glass window - and the way the plane inside (hung to the ceiling) looked like it was soaring in its memories of days done by.

We were very excited to explore the inside of this concorde. Such a pity they don't fly anymore - almost the end of an era.
