Xmas Trip 5

On Boxing Day [which does not exist in the US] we went to the aerospace museum at Dulles, Washington www.visitingdc.com/virginia/dulles-air-space-museum.htm . From the outside it looks quite small. Inside you realise it is a huge space with a Concorde, a Space Shuttle, Enola Gay and a Stealth bomber all fitted in effortlessly. It is a brilliant place to go - almost as good as the National Railway Museum in York [and that is the highest praise from the Palmour household.] We all really enjoyed it. For me it was a strange dip into a forgotten childhood of Airfix model plane making; shapes of planes I had totally forgotten about were brought back into my consciousness by the real thing hanging in space before me.
