Which museum...Cosford or Duxford?
Discussion
I would struggle to choose between them. They are both great, and are both a full days worth of museum. At Duxford this time of your, you are more likely to see things flying, and their workshops might be open.
Plus you can re-enact moments from battle of Briatin- tap her handbag and say "Gas mask cases. They are not handbags. I appreciate that female requirements differ somewhat from men, however.... TAKE COVER!!!!
And on a landing: "you can teach monkeys to fly better then that"
In fact, watch the film before going and you'll enjoy spotting what was filmed where.
Cosford has a lot of younger British aircraft- eraly jets etc. In fact, they do complement each other very well indeed.

Cosford is part of the RAF Museum. The Valiant used to be at Hendon but was moved north to Cosford when the Cold War annexe was opened.
Duxford is owned by the Imperial War Museum although it also houses collections owned by other bodies, companies and private individuals. I would say Duxford has the most to see overall - but they are both terrific places to visit.

And Larry with splendid dispassion about the claims figures: 'If they're right, the Germans will give up. If they're wrong, they'll will be marching up Whitehall by Friday'.
I may have the odd word wrong but the effect is the same

Can't say I blame them. Damp tents and an old shack full of dead flies.

It was actually Michael Caine who had that line. I dont blame you for getting it wrong, though: Not a lot of people know that.....
Curses. Another button off the old anorak. At least I know a yellow bomb when I see it. In fact I think only G15 has the full complement of buttons left...
