Midland Air Museum on the 10th of March 2010

A couple of days away spent in Coventry saw a visit to the Midland Air Museum.

A really interesting place with a good variety of aircraft including the iconic

'City of Coventry' Avro Vulcan XL360. The Museum contains around 30 military

and civil aircraft and also is home to numerous items related to Sir Frank Whittle,

the Coventry born engineer who invented the jet engine.

On the following day I visited the Coventry Transport Museum, highlight

of the day for me here was World Land Speed Record Holders

Thrust 2 and Thrust SSC, the world's first and only Supersonic car.

This section contains around 110 images taken during my visits :
