RAF Hendon Museum - 13th August 2006


Since 2003 I am doing research trips around UK came the right opportunity to visit the RAF Hendon Museum. With my friend Martin we spent there nearly the whole Sunday and I have taken more than 200 photos:-) So here are only very few examples...

Lovely "wooden wonder" - de Havilland Mosquito

Messerschmitt Me 262A-2a

Front turret of "Wimpy" - Wellington Mk. X - one of two last Wellingtons all around the world

Memorial plaque to 50 murdered allied officers who were shot dead by Gestapo after the famous "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III in Sagan

Airspeed Oxford Mk. I - this type of plane became fatal for 5 Czechoslovak airmen of No. 311 Squadron in Januaray 1945 - Oxford PH404

Hawker Typhoon with invasion stripes.

Westland Lysander - a British army co-operation and liaison aircraft
de Havilland Tiger Moth - British trainer used for elementary pilot training


Many thanks for driving & good companion to Martin Sup.
