The British Royal Air Force (RAF) has an interesting network of museums. The two main ones are in London and at RAF Cosford, in Shropshire, England.<\/p>\n

The RAF museum in London was opened in 1972, and the Cosford museum opened in 1979. The latter is located next to an active airbase. Its hangars house dozens of military and civilian aircraft from different eras <\/strong>, both British and other nations, as well as military land vehicles. This museum has the luxury of having all three types of RAF V nuclear bombers: Vulcan, Valiant and Victor.<\/strong> There are also planes from both sides of the Second World War, among which we must highlight an original German Messerschmitt Me-262A Schwalbe<\/strong> jet fighter. There are also different types of missiles, among them a V-1 flying bomb and a V-2 rocket<\/strong>, both original.<\/p>\n

The RAF Cosford museum is an example of good display of materials and well-used space: <\/strong> part of its planes are hung from the ceiling with steel cables. A month ago, Reece Mccarron <\/a> posted an interesting video in which she walks through inside this museum:<\/p>\n
