Yesterday my expedition took me to the Wigram Airforce Museum.
This is an impressive place, beautifully laid out with good information on our air force's history and it has free entry. FREE!
I enjoyed a couple of hours looking at the exhibitions and seeing up close the Spitfire, Mustang, Harvard, Hudson, Vampire, Skyhawk and other aircraft.
I enjoyed the interactive display where you take a role of a captured airman and 'live out' the experience in a series of interconnected rooms either waiting things out or planning an escape. Fortunately for me, my experience digging out our basement put me in a good position for tunnelling.
My only regret was that the Mosquito mission flight simulator was closed for maintenance. I was looking forward to that and, being a weekday I would have had it to myself without annoying kids queuing up behind me.
I had to make do with imagining shooting down Zeros when we went to a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant last night.

That would have been awesome. Just as well you didn't really shoot down any zeroes at the Japanese restaurant or they might have replied with a bayonet charge from the kitchen.
It was a teppanyaki restaurant. The chef was right next to us at the bar with his very sharp knives and cooking on the hot plate, extremely good food.
