More from this excellent floating museum:

Not a huge collection of aircraft, but some good 'uns...

The officers' wardroom was fancier, but I decided to post this pic of the "dirty shirt" room instead. Grin
Not bad, really...

One of the best things about this museum is that for the most part you get the feeling that the crew is there somewhere- not much has been changed.
