Thread: Aircraft Museums

I have seen a couple of the planes flying over Seattle. One of these days I need to go up and see them up close.

I have always wanted to fly a Mustang *sigh*

Reading, Pennsylvania: MidAtlantic Air Museum.

WELCOME TO THE MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM

They have an Avenger, B-25, and others. WWII Weekend on the first week of June is worth a visit.

There is another nice one in Darwin Australia with 8 aircraft from b52 bomber to spitfire mk8 plus a whole pile of engines and displays

One little known museum in the UK is at Coalhouse fort East Tilbury in Essex.
Primarily displaying artifacts from digs conducted along the Thames Estuary.

Based at Coalhouse Fort since 1984 but starting life many years earlier in 1974 under the name of The Essex Historical Aircraft Society with the first excavation being carried out in August 11th of that year, on Hawker Hurricane P3518 of 257 ( Burma ) Squadron, they have carried out over forty excavations since 1974

The museum is open to the public on fort open days, last Sunday of the Month and Bank Holidays, see Coalhouse Fort - Index of for further info.
A very interesting place and well worth a visit if your in the area.

Visited here early this month - Pacific Aviation Museum - Pearl Harbor, Hawaii

Very, very well done with great plans for the future.
