RAF Cosford Museum


Last week we made a couple of visits to the RAF museum Cosford. These few shots are from the displays inside the first two hangers. We had a limited amount of time so we will pay another visit sometime in the future.

Blists Hill in Colour

This is just a few shots in colour that I felt worked better than the monochrome of my previous posts.   

We enjoyed our couple of days spent at the village and the good news is that we now have tickets that will allow us entrance to all ten museums for the next year, so we shall return next spring when the days are longer and the light is better. By the time we next visit the Iron Bridge should be finished and unwrapped ready for another two hundred thirty years of use.

I have three other posts from this visit, they can be seen Blists Hill People 1
and Blists Hill Buildings and Blists Hill People 2
