What’s so special about this day at 30 ST MARY AXE (Gherkin, Swiss-Re tower)?
…in case you were wondering, nothing! just a normal working day in the city and the crowds gathered to grab a ?quick? lunch hour pint at the Sterling bar!!
Imperial War Museum, Duxford
Today is Remembrance Day (Poppy Day), the day when World War I ended in 1918!!, so I thought it’d be a good time to visit Imperial War Museum at Duxford. Really great place for a day out, if you enjoy a bit of history and watching aircrafts, fighter jets and other military equipment. You can get into the Concorde’s (G-AXDN) cockpit, take a picture next to an F16 fighter jet etc.
It has one of the finest collections of tanks, military vehicles and naval exhibits in the world, served as an airfield in the First World War and played a vital role in the Second World War as an RAF fighter station and later as an American fighter base.
