RAF Manston Museum

Hi folks,

Well this weather wont abate so I went searching for stuff to put up and can across these of Manston after we had seen the towers at Richborough come down. The date was the 11th of March before we were given a hosepipe ban.

I didn't actually know this place was here but as Sue, Trev and I were needing refreshment. After drinks we called in paying £1.50. had a good look around the Museum.

It was actually in an old aircraft hangar with some interesting kit in it, well worth a visit..

I think this is an old Sea King Helicopter.

Remember the pilot at the front, we joked and Sue called him Ken.

No none of these look like Ken OTL

Then we found Barbie and we all started to laugh as I remarked that this lady looked like a young Eileen, (bound for the naughty corner now) lol.

Outside the sun was shining, not like this week. We looked around at the outside exhibits.

Sitting on the seat outside I spied this little fellow, a Pied Wagtail, ain't I clever, not.

Just to prove it was a working Airport in came a Jumbo.

We went from here to look at the tower bases at Richbough that had been blown up earlier.

Thanks for looking.

nite nite, luv Mike XX
