he day went very smooth and the hotel is owned by an Indian doctor who lives close to London and he comes to worlington every weekend. He cooked himself very good for us as we had not eaten any Indian food for such long. Some veg curry and Egg masala did the
magic for dinner.
Imperial war museum:
A museum they have built to display the warheads, aircrafts, artillery and also tanks and ground fighting machines in an airport which is currently used for test flights of the war planes and also used for air shows.
This is something very new to us and the way they have maintained the aircrafts are incredible. I think this is the only place where in you can enter the super sonic concorde now (
and all of us did!!) and you will have a chance to see the spitfires, B17 bombers, lancasters, the blackbirds and so on and so forth. The number of displays are innumerable and it is a lifetime experience. What else can you get when you are in such a place and you get a display of spitfires done specially for you. The way the aircraft goes at 90 degrees to the sky and the way it swirls like a swift is just a feat to watch. A tremendous day for all of us.There is an aircraft by name Black bird which is an american spy plane which can go 3 times the speed of the sound and can fly at 85000 ft. Can you all believe that??? it is just incredible a
nd if you stand in front of them, we all know how much small we are. Great learning experience in this visit.
We headed to Cambridge south club in University arms hotel and we had a chance to interact with the club members as they had a presentation about time pieces from a collector of these items.
