the long way home – RAF Cosford

Had a tearful hug as we said goodbyes at the youth hostel as it is the last time for some people who really are the ‘last men standing’ pretty much of the original muddlepuddle. deserved pipers and drums and leaving under crossed swords ;) . So we cheered up our journey home with SOTP at RAF Cosford which was very close.

It is free, though the parking isn’t, and is a remarkably interesting museum. It has the usual planes and nice displays and info boards, with a little ‘science of planes’ area which BB very much enjoyed. But for me, it was the cold war zone where it really grabbed and shone. We sat through a mini cuban war crisis, reviewed MAD, the berlin wall, CND and lots of interesting things to look at. Definitely well worth a visit on all sorts of levels. BB loved actually having money to spend in the shop.
