I spent the better part of the day in the Royal Air Force Museum in London (and the rest of the day traveling to and from it via various combinations of walking, trains, subways and taxis).

Needless to say there's a lot of amazing technology piled up in there and I would recommend a visit to anyone interested in aircrafts. In fact there are so many machines crammed in the old hangars that it's quite a challenge to make a good photograph of any single one of them.

The order of exhibitions is a bit chaotic concerning the time line. But that can be a plus - it's interesting to compare the size of a modern jet fighter with a Spitfire.
