My sister is celebrating her affiance in England next week.

OK, I'm envious! [:@][:D] quote: my digital camera will be with me! :) 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.

Historiker -> RE: get envious! (2/24/2008 1:23:33 AM)
I dream of visiting it and Bovington for about 15 years now as well! And yes, I will show you some pics! :) BTW: If there's the time, Iwll visit the HMS Belfast as well :)

I must say the area out in Arizona with like 15,000+ dead aircraft and a museum was a cool place to visit. The SR-71 and many other planes.[8D] Fun trip.

Haven't been to Duxford for years, but would say it and Bovington were likely to be more impressive than IWM London which is quite small - though some nice stuff and you can get right up close. Two other ones worth a look are in Brussels and Saumur in France. Roger

Pffft. No envy here. I can get to all of em within 2 hours[:'(][;)]

Roger Neilson II -> RE: get envious! (2/24/2008 1:29:44 AM)
Yeah, but you have to live in Reading! Duh! Roger [:D]

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! [:D]

[:D] 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!

Please. Unlike Hood (which was a Battle cruiser , not a light cruiser) HMS Belfast is wonderfully preserved, also worth a visit![:D]
