Halifax W0148

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the London Blitz, which has been the subject of many events and commemorations. If you want to get a sense of what was happening in the air, or if you just want a good day out, the RAF Museum in Hendon is a pretty good place to go. This is a Halifax bomber, pretty much in the state it was found at the bottom of a Norwegian lake in 1973. In the words of the RAF " This haunting relic reminds one that war is not a glorious business as it sits between the other immaculate and historic exhibits."
