As I know there's a few of you on here that are into aircraft, I thought I'd share a few pics from my recent trip to RAF Cosford (near telford)

Did you do like I did and try to take a shot from directly underneath that Lightning? :)

Was limited by the lens on my K800i's camera sadly.

I'd definitely recommend a visit. Makes a nice change from Duxford which I live on the doorstep of. Duxford has a certain edge to it in that it is more of a 'living' museum - you can see restoration projects taking place in open hangars & obviously it has aircraft like the SR-71 Blackbird. BUT they certainly know how to charge :(
