The rowboat in the background was part of the small Merchant Navy exhibit, a couple of sailors spent a few months in there after being torpedoed in the Atlantic before washing up in the Caribbean. [X(]

Could've done with more time really, we only spent half a day at the IWM. I wandered around the bits that I was most interested in (the aeroplanes, Great War and post 1945 stuff) whilst Clare checked out the Holocaust exhibition.

Sure, its not that hard. Eating, pooping and screwing is pretty much the extent of their concerns.

Thought Mice did the same sort of thing... but just faster. [:D]

Looks like we might have the beginnings of a new Yamato-vs-Iowa thread... Oh goody...
Whataya think, T-should I start arguing that the Yamato and Mushashi were scuttled? After all, everyone knows that these behemoths could not succumb to the pinpricks of the Allied TB and DBs.

No arguing with fanbois...

Hurrah! The JFBs are gaining the upper hand currently, but surely it's just a matter of time before the AFBs gather sufficient numbers to mount a counter of their own. Then someone from the JFBs will mention how Musashi was only sunk because the US cheated by bringing more planes than the IJN could defend against thus rendering the sinking as null and void. Then the AFBs will ascertain that an Iowa would easily have taken out either or both Yamatos on the basis of they said so. Then someone will call someone else a name and it'll all degenerate further, then someone will mention some totally irrelevant fact and drags the Bismark into the discussion.

Meanwhile a sub-plot has sprung up with regards to USN and IJN airpower and tactics, the result of which is a thread that spreads to 5 pages before the final and inevitable lock.

I thought I'd stop there, I took a few of the MkV Male, Jagdpanther, Matilda II, T-34-85 and Monty's M3 Lee and plenty of Belfast's engine rooms. Machinery, it makes better pictures than boring old piles of bricks [:D]

It's fitting that a museum of warfare used to be a home for the insane.

Yep. And birds. Except maybe that one in the park.

The only ones I could get away with photographing! There was also a Heron wandering around.

A few, didn't take many though. And none of the P-51, I've seen loads of those and it's in a difficult position to get a good pic.

Look at all the goodies in that shot!! Is that a Humber AC over there?
