Continuing with the Scottish September tour

 After Melrose we headed up to North Berwick, we visited last year and enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided that a return visit was necessary, Finding ourselves arriving too early to book  onto the campsite, we followed the directions for the air museum, expecting a small collection to look at and help us pass the time.

How wrong we were, this is a place that definitely need more time to explore the multiple builds and also to revisit the café ( excellent soup)

The National Museum of Flight houses more than 50 aircraft located on the site of the UKs best preserved second world war airfield, far more than we could see in the time that we had allowed.

                                                     Concorde, slightly more unusual angle.


Not the easiest place to take photos due to the close proximity of the planes but I tried my best.


I wouldn't like to work on this engine !!



A retired Red Arrow.



                               A nod to the history of the airfield, more to explore next time.


The other hall had so many planes so close together with spot lights that it became difficult to capture a whole plane but the detail on some was worth recording.








 We look forward to making a return visit next time we are around the east coast.

I remember my dad taking us out to the airport to see the first Concorde that landed here.
