Took a trip to Newark Air Museum ,the first time in about 20 years and really enjoyed it lots of exhibits and displays ,a nice cafe and a book and model shop as well . Here are just a small selection of photographs I took during our visit.The Museum was formally R.A.F Winthorpe and has a memorial to  Bomber Command .The Memorial is topped by a Prop hub from a Short Stirling that crashed nearby and has 9 trees dedicated to each crew member all of whom perished in the crash ,other trees are dedicated to Squadrons,personnel and aircraft types that served at or near the airfield.

Many displays are placed around the hangers
