Europe Trip #17: RAF Museum Hendon - 12 - Big and Fast

OK, here's two more jet aircraft to gaze longingly at! The Avro Vulcan is an awesome beast! I mean, it is just HUGE! The museum have poked it into the corner [and I mean right in to the corner] of one of the buildings and it seems to stretch out forever!

The other is the mighty Eurofighter Typhoon. This appears to be one of the prototype aircraft, and is a stunning sight and because of the walkways on the second and third levels of the building, you can walk right up to, almost level with, the aircraft even though it is suspended from the ceiling. It's a nice looking plane also. Just a thought, it'd look good flying around Ohakea with some Kiwi roundels on it :-) Clearly this is no ordinary museum when it has a front-line fighter hung off the ceiling :-)
