Imperial War Museum Duxford

Yesterday, hubby woke up and decided to take us on a surprise trip. On the way he announced we were going to Duxford War Museum. We were thrilled as we have wanted to visit this place for a while now. We had a fantastic day and we can't wait to go back!

Here are some pictures of our day at the Musem.

It's not and basically it's a simulation of a real aircraft. The best thing of all was it was in one of Joe's (and one of all of our favourite planes) favourite planes, the Tiger Moth.

Here he was living out his dream. It was his first time in an Airplane and much more special that it was in a Tiger Moth. His dad and I were on t

Hi all, Well, we recently maidened our new plane. Thankfully it was a success! :) Before we maiden a plane it is a bit stressful, as you never know just how well the plane will fly. We have had a one which didn't make it after the maiden, mainly because the tail was warped a bit. Anyway enough of that. I'm talking about our new plane. :) She was a success and here's the video of her maiden. :) Oh yes and hubby got carried away with the text as he put this movie together. :) Also, just want to wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas!!!!!
