SS Great Britain
This was my second visit to this great ship, my last one being about fifteen years ago. A lot has happened since then both to the ship and on the quayside. A new "Being Brunel Museum" has been recently opened celebrating the great man’s life and work.

The bottom of the ship is showing signs of deterioration but
with the glass roof / simulated ocean around the bottom of the ship along with
a constant dehumidifier running night and day the rust should have been arrested.

Duxford
With the Easter weekend starting tomorrow and the weather forecast not looking too good I decided to visit Duxford IWM today. I am a regular visitor to the collection, so I always look forward to seeing if anything new has been added. I was fortunate that they were moving the two seat Spitfire "Elizabeth" to one of the storage hangers, so I had an opportunity to get some close up shots. Most of the other shots from the day were taken of the hanging exhibits in the AirSpace hall.
