Duxford

OnWednesday 5th June we went to Duxford Airbase. Some planes were flying (they were war aeroplanes) and we also saw some that were on display.

One of my favourite things was going into a couple of the planes. One of them was called the Concorde. It was the fastest passenger plane in the world. There was a crash that ended the Concorde's flights. Most days on the flights people complained about it being uncomfortable and noisy. Then one day somebody had dropped a piece of metal on the runway and it tripped on the metal and flew up heading for the bottom of the plane and it blew up. Then everybody said 'we're getting rid of this - it's dangerous, it's noisy and it's uncomfortable!'.

Did you know that people had to speak on telephones so that their enemies couldn't hear them?

Here are some photos of Duxford Airbase:
