I went to The Muckleburgh Collection a couple of years ago and it was similarly great (although not as big or varied as this one, from the looks of it). Will have to add this one to my list!

Especially since I'm just at the end of Elinors book (which is sooooo good) and seeing these images, now gives life to many of the scenes I envisioned in my head.<br /><br />This also reminded me of the Hamilton Warplane museum just outside of Toronto.

They're less common in this country than the US or UK, but I do know of at least a couple, with one being in the neighbouring province of Alberta, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility. :)<br /><br />Have a splendid weekend, dear gal!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848701498694248195.post-29086392954544730562015-05-08T06:28:07.357-07:002015-05-08T06:28:07.357-07:00Thank you for sharing this, I love seeing displays...Thank you for sharing this, I love seeing displays like these and get a sense of what it must have been like for the people who had to work and serve in the war.

I feel like I think of these old planes as being small, because compared to a 747 they are, but they are still pretty massive!<br /><br />The little rodent mascots are the best though! So cute :)Tanithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915557658875958630noreply@blogger.com
