Ah, well touche. 

I have no response to that.  Feel like a jerk now, sorry man.

Furball used to work at Hendon.  He was living in Colorado for a while but I think he's back now...not sure.  Great guy...and Hendon is amazing.

Hendon is cool indeed. I'm off to it's sister museum, Cosford, in a couple of weeks. I'll post some photos when I've been.

I live just outside London, in Essex. My fav place in london is white hall, its where all the govt buildings are and horse guards parade. but for tourists spots, the natural history musem & sports musem is good. London Dungeons is quite good also. go out in the west end for a beer or two and if you can, go on a river cruise.

I know some good clubs and bars if you and your friends want to go!
avoid the stripclubs around soho!

theres an Ice bar in mayfair thats pretty good, glasses made of ice, ice bar and chairs etc etc then pop to china town for a meal..then hit some bars!

That would be pretty cool if could let me know, I know we pretty much have weekends to ourselves and go out in the city to find things to do.  The professors arent constricting us and when were there we can walk as freely as we want.  The weekdays we will be doing work and when there is none we will be going out an about. 

This weekend when we first get there we will have both days just to tour the city.

If London's anything like Preston, make sure you use the cross walk.

Looking for some help on this, the RAF museum was mentioned above which I have intention on going this coming Saturday.  Now the question is anyone here familar with the London train service was the exact train stop/destination I am looking for on the train services for the museum.  These UK addresses in London are odd to me.

Btw was able to try several beers/ales in UK and ales first different at first cause of the room temp but will say london pride and spitfire as well was the fish & chips were well worth the money.   :)

At some, if not all Tube stations, you can buy little Tube maps that will show the way. I went to the museum north of London via Tube, got off (don't remember the name) and took a bus the rest of the way.   Was pretty easy... Have fun in London -
