A view of the single turbine of the Harrier Jump Jet. It was fascinating to see one up close, this is the sort of jet that can 'hover'.

You're going to have to guess some of the aircraft on these pages, there was SO MANY of them it was impossible to remember what they all are. This was one of Tim's favs and one of the few helicopters on display. We think it's a Huey...

Tim examines the inner of a very large bomb, next to a B52 Bomber one of the biggest planes we've ever seen. It filled the hangar and all the other planes were fitted in around it!
