Last Sunday we enjoyed a family outing to Hendon Aircraft Museum.

The museum has a new exhibit hall funded by money from the National Lottery:

Nice new entrance hall, with trendy wall of decals and a Spitfire mascot:

The new hall reminded me of my teenage bedroom ceiling covered in hanging Airfix models, only here it's the real thing:

Say cheese:

There are lots of fun hands-on exhibits, including this hot-air balloon:

This was our favourite, a parcel drop simulator. First a package is loaded into a model plane using a lift. Then the plane flies across the ceiling, the parcel released under control of bomb-aimer Jed:

A nice day out, even for a peace-nick like me!
