Your right Andy the halls are literally jam packed with all sorts of engineering heritage. Shame they can't really build any more halls as there is just no more room. Behind the Museum is Granada Studios which is home to Coronation Street. I would'nt mind them pulling that lot down to make way for fresh exhibits!

Hmm.. Sorry Garry I'm not sure.

I think it does :think:
Is the Trident shorter than it used to be when it was first cut down?

Weird you should mention that. I have'nt been to the Museum for about 15 years and when I was last there I seem to remember the Trident being shorter. Perhaps I imagined it.

Lovely shots Eddie. I want that Dh89!!
Is the Tri nose the one that used to be at Cosford?? If so, it's definately grown since it was on display there :shock:
