Brilliant - What a good neighbour to have.
The painting "Phantom of the Ruhr" is a bit disturbing though.

Great pictures, Ross!
I don't envy the rear gunner though, what a way to make a living.

If only those planes could talk I bet they could tell some incredible stories. Thanks for sharing Ross.

We were told the history behind the Lancaster and surprisingly it was built after the war!
I was used after for recon missions!
The spitfires had been in combat though the guy showed us the patched bullet holes.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
I really love WWII museums or any military museums, specially aircraft ones.
All the technology we have today is due to the war effort.
