Yes, trying to sort out a time when I can visit Coventry. It's much closer to me, but the cockpit will be modernised over what my Uncle used to fly, so the opportunity to see things closer to original is always of interest. I have been in a couple of Vulcans, at Newark air museum and near Stratford. Didn't get into the pilot's seat - I'd never fit between the seats, but as former radio man, those rear facing seats have some interesting kit in the consoles  Philip that's a great set of photos  Looking forward to B17 photos too, Draggin.

Climbed into one as an air cadet. Climb being the operative word. Steep angle when parked on the runway. Dakota not Vulcan.

Another one to add to the "Must Visit" list Is it possible to see inside? In particular the cockpit? Another one for you to visit is at Wings Museum near Gatwick: http://www.wingsmuseum.co.uk/

Love seeing pictures of Morgans next to old warplanes The nearby Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby ran a photoshoot last year where you could park your car next to their Lancaster - http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/events/Special-Events/jane-and-her-little-friends.htmI emailed them a couple of months ago to see if they were planning on running the event again this year. But sadly they are not  Jim

I have been in Just Jane!
When I visited a few years ago they had one seat left for the Taxy Run ( correct spelling!!).
So I sat in the wireless ops seat - where my Dad would have sat in WW2
Quite an emotional Run for me!
I red last month that they are ever hopeful of getting her Airborne again in the foreseeable future.
