Wow! I had most of those hung from my bedroom ceiling when I was a kid.  :) The Stuka was my favourite.
Odd question, but what's the structure in the roof in the first pic of page 3? Looks like part of a control tower or something. Is that part of the exhibits or just part of the building?!

i forgot to take a pic of it, but its a gondala from under an airship. what is it about having model aircraft hanging from the ceiling as kids. i used to have 'em as well and every so often me dad would get 'em down and we'd dust 'em off


Title: Re: not exactly a show
Post by: Manky Monkey on August 27, 2012, 08:43:25 PM
 ;D Looks like an interesting place. I only know most of those as Airfix kits. I'd love to see the full sized ones.

the 'stuka caught me by surprise the size of it. when you enter the sunderland each section you go into a sensor sets of a recording about that section
