Today we left London, and picking up our hire car, headed out towards Cambridge. We stopped for lunch at Duxford, and visited the Imperial War Museum there.
Highlights had to be the Spitfire and other aircraft in the Battle of Britain hangar. There was also a new display about land warfare from 1914, which is very well set up.
Duxford also contains an aircraft museum, with a huge variety of aircraft - not only military machines. One of the highlights in the history of aviation hangar is the Concorde, and we walked through it. I can't imagine that it would have been very pleasant to travel in; the seats are narrow (the whole aircraft is narrow), and the windows are tiny. Still, I'm glad that I've seen it!
From Duxford it was only a 15 minute drive to Cambridge.
