Always worth a visit to this friendly and informative museum. The Vulcan is still being painted (should be ready by April 25 2015) and the second Javelin, well, that’s a lot of work.

As usual, guided by Waze. And Bagpuss.   Soggy to start.

It started frosty and clear in Hinckley and turned into grey and overcast in Coventry, the home of the Midland Air Museum.
