Great museum. Haven't been back since they got the Mirage IV, so maybe this year.

Just had a test flight - your best yet, Rob. I'll be flying this one a lot.

Re: A few from Duxford 20Feb24
Great photos. I'm way overdue for another visit down there. Time to renew my membership, too.

Re: Round the World 3: Adelaide's Vimy
Yes, all these pioneers right up to the start of WW2 were remarkable men and women. I'm hoping for a Vickers Vimy in MSFS at some point - maybe with the 1990's replica Vimy as an option.
Glad you're enjoying the pictures, Ben.

Re: Around the World 2: Darwin
It's one of the early Hornets, but I believe it is a recent addition to the museum. They are now replaced by the Super Hornets in RAAF service.

Re: Around the World 2: Darwin
Had to look up that train journey, looks like a great way to go across Australia. It was wonderful. My own cabin, superb food, free bar, great people - I'd recommend it to anyone.

Ben, if you look at the underside of the Mirage's fuselage, just behind the nose wheel, you'll see she's a bit battered.

Around the World 2: Darwin
After Singapore, I flew down to Darwin. I was only there for two days, and the aviation museum was a priority. Click on the pictures for the full image: Getting off at Darwin airport. No, no, Ben...don't thank me - it's a pleasure. https://i.imgur.com/9zm9L4y.jpg Considering the museum is really onl...
