A few weeks ago we took a drive to the Royal Airforce Cosford Air Museum. Whilst I'm not keen on flying (taking off and landing) we do fly a few times a year and I'm always using Flightradar24 to see what's flying overhead.
I'm quite good at recognising the sound of different planes especially as a Hercules or an Antonov go by.
Cosford is huge, there's two large hangers dedicated to WWI and WWII planes. I cannot believe they flew in them, some are just wood and paper. There is also a enormous new purpose built hanger with planes and fighter jets, including a Vulcan.
It's free to visit, just parking to pay with a discount if you pay online in advance. It's a great place to visit with good facilities and coffee shop.
