The Aviation museum

Yesterday we went to the aviation museum in Dumfries!! There was all sorts of World War Two planes and helicopters, some of which you can actually go in! The first plane you see is a old Trident passenger plane,which you can go in.When you go inside the first thing you notice is the big amount of chairs.Yawn-that's boring. But if you go in a bit further you can see the cockpit which is full of amazing dials,switches and levers. Unfortunately you can't go in there, probably because it is still wired up. Another interesting thing you can go and see is a shop which is made to look like a WWII shop. When you go in it triggers an air raid siren. If you look up you can see a model bomb, which gave me such a fright when i first saw it. Then there is a helicopter you can go in.Inside the helicopter there are two pilot seats and three passenger seats. Next to the pilot seats there are an amazing number of switches and buttons. Next to the passenger seats there are grenade holders, with enogh room for twenty grenades in total.Here are some pictures

Argh! The bombs are falling!
