As I said in my first RAF Hendon post I also got to the Royal Artillery Firepower Museum at the old Woolwich Arsenal when I was in London. Glad I got there as it closed on 8th July and at some future point will reappear in Wiltshire. So some photos from that visit below. More to follow...

RAF MUSEUM HENDON LONDON PART 1

Three weeks ago I visited the RAF Museum at Hendon for the first time. I was down in London for a week cat sitting for my daughter. The RAF museum is worth at least a half days visit and is easy to get to using the Northern Line Tube. Here are a few photos from my visit. More to follow.

I also got to the Royal Artillery Firepower Museum at the old Woolwich Arsenal - it is closing this month and moving to the wilds of Wiltshire - so some photos from that visit will be appearing.
