Kenny Andrew Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Excellent pictures Dave I really like the 251, must pay a visit to that place it looks awesome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david f Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 It is a great place Kenny. It follows the war through from the rise of the Nazi party through to the end. It is set up in the same type of huts that used to house the POW's. I missed getting a picture of a DAF standard flag because i did not have the camera with me at the time. The kids loved it and it has a bit of interaction as well for them,along with a decent cafe,which served decent sized portions at a decent price. i also have pictures that i took at the Yorkshire air museum that i will up load tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The T-34 is great, if I am correct the turret is an early model which is rare (single piece construction and radio mast on top) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david f Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 The T-34 is great, if I am correct the turret is an early model which is rare (single piece construction and radio mast on top) it sure is.A fantastic tank.The only thing that i regret is that they have a Cromwell tank at the entrence,but i didn't manage to get a picture of it as i seen it in passing on the way out. Here are some pictures taken at the Yorkshire Air museum.Now planes are not my strongpoint,so any help on identifying the planes is welcome. 1. 2. 3.ok so not a plane,but a weird looking helicopter 4. 5. 6.this one i do know.A Halifax Bomber.Jesus this thing is huge! 7.Close up of the nose .This was taken from below 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
