A wonderful visit to the RAF Museum at Hendon (1)
Without doubt, the best museum I have ever visited- and I know I often say that but this was just brilliant!

Ever since I was a boy I have loved the RAF. My dad bought my a Biggles book, and unlike the recorder, it spurred me on to buy them whenever I could. Those, like me, who remember old money will recall they, along with Enid Blyton, were banned from public libraries. When I got to secondary school we had a teacher called Mr Healy who wasn't very interested in teaching us French but loved talking about Bomber Command. From then on Bomber Harris became a subject of fascination to me, along with Trenchard, Tedder, Portal & Co. And of course, lower down the food chain: Algy, Ginger, Smyth and Bertie.
