Royal Air Force Museum



Today we went to the Royal Air Force Museum. The museum is dedicated to the history of aviation and the British Royal Air Force. In the museum, there are lots of amazing types of airplanes, some that are the only one of that kind left. The Vickers Wellingtons and Avro Lancaster S-Suger are one of two surviving planes of that kind in the world. Some of the sections in the museum are Milestones of Flight, that part of the museum has many of the first airplanes that were used in war. The Bomber Hall, obviously, has huge airplanes that were used for dropping bombs and warfare. Historic Hangars have some of the planes that most helped and made a difference in the war. The other three sections are The Grahame-White Factory, Battle of Britain Hall and a section that show's all different kinds of engines.

The museum was incredible. It may seem like it was just a museum with bombers and big airplanes, but it was also very historical. It talked about the war and everything that was going on in those wars. It was great being able to explore and sit in the cockpit. It was almost like being back in the war! The museum was a series of hangers. There were huge airplanes, there were small, compact airplanes. My dad, my mom, Andie, Ben and I went. There are many amazing sights to see in England, Royal Air Force museum is definitely a sight to see.
