That's great Mike!  I look forward to a trip to see the museum - as only 2 hrs from my location.

Thank you all for your kind words.

A visit to the BDAC is very worthwhile. It's truly a hands-on museum. They seem to have specialised in aircraft cockpits, from a Lancaster bomber and a Dakota to the fastest of fast jets. You can climb into most of the cockpits and satisfy all your Top Gun fantasies. They also have three advanced flight simulators with volunteers to help you get into the air and safely away from the green stuff. Oh! did I say, there are also some Bristol radial engine models.  :Lol:

Cheers   :cheers:

Mike,
Lots of stuff to catch up on. It's exciting that you have found such a great place for your Bristols to rest! I would love the opportunity to see them, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Great display.
