For a Sunday morning we were amazingly ‘up and at em’ and out the door on our way to Duxford and the Imperial War Air Museum by 9am. It was the second box to be ticked for Larry and with great anticipation we arrived at the airfield. As an ex RAAFie Larry was like a kid in a lolly shop, the exhibits were amazing with a large range of old and new. Over 180 pics were taken and the surprise was a great Land Warfare exhibition at the end of the airfield. Very well put together with more tanks and guns that you could poke a stick at. A number of tanks and German soldier dummies were arranged around rubble to give an excellent idea of what it was like during the war. All in all a great day at the museum. Jenny, Glen and Jeremy were extremely patient with the aircraft junkie. After the museum we journeyed to the heart of Cambridge to wander around this old city. Very charming with the the river Cam running through it. Lots of people doing the ‘punting’ thing with the added bonus of watching one of the tourist poleman falling into the canal and by his reaction it was very cold. Very peaceful wandering around and with light failing we had to leave to get back to London to pick up Martin from the dog sitter and get the pizza organised. Beer and pizza for dinner after a day at an aircraft museum, a great day I would think.
