29.07.12 (Duxford, UK) Part 2
Duxford Imperial War Museum is so big that it takes three blog posts to contain it all. So hang around these parts for the next round of pictures from my excursions around Anglia.
Along the airstrip, which as I mentioned in the last post was so freakin' long that it disappears into the vanishing point, we find the usual food fare for a museum: a cafeteria with overpriced ice cream and fish n chips and a themed coffee shop called Wing Co. Joe's, outside of it an advert featuring a dubiously enthusiastic airman enjoying what I can only imagine is his last cup of Joe before he's shipped out to the Pacific Theatre. While we avoid the food and drink, we do manage to catch a few planes as they're taking off from the runway. After that we head to the American Air Museum, in which about twenty American aircraft from World War II and beyond dangle from the ceiling and are arranged in a complex tangle of overlapping wings.

| That dome is the American airplane hangar. Inside, the planes were suspended from the ceiling and arranged in an overlapping style. At the center was a B52D. |

| Check out the Huey! |
