Museum review #9 IWM London

As you approach the museum you are greeted down the path by 2 different caliber warship guns and then the impressive  building the collection is housed in is beautiful. The collection is great with lots to see over several floors such as guns missiles tanks boats and planes and occasionally has a special exhibit going on. When we where there a James Bond exhibit was going on inside part of the museum which we didn't see but it is still a spectacular place to visit which get my approval of a 10/10 for awesomeness

Museum review #8 RAF Museum London

This museum is located at Hendon and is a brilliant collection of aircraft from as is to restored making it quite spectacular to go and see with things such as Hawker Typhoon Lancaster German Aircraft and others make up the vast collection. It is worth a visit when there new building is completed. Overall I enjoyed this museum so its a 10/10 superb all round museum

Museum review #7 RAF Museum Cosford

RAF Cosford has a vast array of aircraft in there collection which is cool to see some of the rarer types and the many different artifacts to go along with them. The collection is housed in several buildings with over 70 aircraft on display plus the Dornier they resurrected from the sands is there for conservation and eventual restoration. the collection features things such as ICBMs V force aircraft Spitfire and others it is worth a visit overall a 9/10. Would love to see inside the restoration sheds on an open day

Museum review #6 Malta Aviation Museum

Situated on a former RAF base with many of the old structures being used for various shops and businesses make this a wonderful atmosphere to be going to the museum. It is housed in several sheds and boasts some interesting displays such as the Spitfire they get out of the shed every day and the DC3 plus the nose section of a BAC 1-11 you can go inside and a Fiat G91 is fantastic. It is worth a visit when visiting Malta so a 10/10 in my opinion

Museum review #5 Midland Air Museum

This museum is a stunning museum with its many aircraft and the chance to go inside several of the aircraft such as the Vulcan means this is great. It is situated on the perimeter of Coventry Airport and makes for a nice spotting location for Atlantic and West Air aircraft flying in and out plus the Neptune up the road overall a 9/10. Quite enjoyed being shown around the behind the scenes by a staff member. The collection is based around the history and manufacturers that have come and gone in Coventry which makes a nice touch
