Messerschmitt Bf-109 E-3, Imperial War Museum, Duxford.
























This Luftwaffe Messerschmitt is a casualty of the Battle of Britain and is preserved pretty much in the condition it was in after it had crash landed into a cornfield, although it has been partially repainted. It is displayed in a tableau of the crash site along with other exhibits of the period at the Imperial War Museum's Duxford airfield, Cambridgeshire, which was itself one of the fighter stations involved the battle.

HMS Belfast in the Pool of London.

























Taken a couple of years ago, this shot of HMS Belfast with the Tower of London and Tower Bridge in the background is definitely one of my better efforts. The ship, a veteran of World War Two and the Korean War is now permanently moored in the Pool of London, owned by the Imperial War Museum.
