Hopefully you'll provide some pics to the forum. I've been wanting to go to the Imperial War Museum for more years than I can count, but I haven't arranged it yet.

I even wasn't at Munster, yet!
Kubinka, Munster and Saumur are on my list as well. I guess they'll be visited within the next two years.

As long as you are in London, you might want to take the tube out to Hendon, the RAF museum. It truly is one of the world's great air musem. It also has the Battle of Britan museum , and 8thAF/Bomber Command musem.

If you find yourself in the south of England , the city of Pourtsmouth has a magnificent collections of military/Naval museums. Too many to list here , but everyone worth seeing! Enjoy your visit!

I''m afraid there won't be the time for all of this as I have to write an article with the subject "War and Army in the times of the enlightenment" until end of march

But I've found out that I can get both flights to London and back for only 20 Euro so there'll be another chance!

Unlike Hood (which was a Battle cruiser , not a light cruiser) HMS Belfast is wonderfully preserved, also worth a visit!
