RAF Museum
Even the Royal Air Force Museum is a bit out of the track from the main London attractions, it is definitely worth to visit the original London Aerodrome if aviation is you passion or interest.
The RAF Museum was opened in November 1972 by Her Majesty The Queen. Located on 15 acres of the former Hendon Aerodrome at RAF Hendon, one of the oldest aviation centres in the country, the museum gives an insight into the history of aviation.
The sky has always been a fascinating thing, no wonder, the films like The Pearl Harbour or The Aviator became so popular. Obviously, with many things altered these films do not represent the real pictures of those times. The RAF Museum is a good opportunity to learn more about the history, aviation and is great for basic knowledge. The original aircraft are displayed with the classics of the USA, Germany, Japan and France.
The RAF has also opened two new exhibition halls in commemoration to its 100th anniversary, so there is much to see.
The Aircraft collection at the RAF Museum features over 90 historic aircraft covering the whole span of the first 100 years of aviation development. The highlights include the Milestones of Flight Collection that covers the great achievements in the first 100 years of powered flight, and in particular the major contribution made by the Royal Air Force Museum.
The Royal Air Force Museum is a great place to visit and gain some invaluable insight into the world of aviation.
