The third in this series of images taken in 2018 is the terrific Yorkshire Air Museum.

A nice set there Gary. The second is my favourite for some reason.... It looks like we was in when you visited with the crew door open. I liked the indoors stuff, working there, I don't get into the exhibits as much as I should. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Ian, yes, the day I was there, I got chatting to one of your compadres about the Victor. I've been going to YAM for many years and I'm always pleasantly surprised by what is on offer there, it really is a great place.
