1. We arrived and were taken around the indoor exhibits

2. ... before we headed outside into the glorious evening sunshine, if a little chilly ...

3. One of the outdoor exhibits in fine condition

4. Having a close look at a Harrier jump jet ...or AV8 as the Americans call them ...

5. ... and looking at the other side ... it was getting a little chilly by now ...

6. ... so Dave Ollis wanted to warm his ears ...

7. Now we examine the classic F4 Phantom jet

8. Brian has a go at piloting the Russian MIL helicopter, a mean machine if ever there was one!

9. ... in fact, several of us fancy a go in this one!!!

10. The cockpit of a Vulcan bomber. Imagine being cooped up in here for 18 hours at a stretch!
