Thanks chaps. Just sorting through the pics in order to post a miscellaneous group for the final instalment, a mix of detail shots and some of the incidental exhibits.

And here's the final group from this Pictorial Tour of the RAF Museum, Cosford, a selection of detail shots and some of the other exhibits. As already mentioned, during our five hours at the Museum, we didn't have time to see or photograph everything on display, and there are many incidental galleries and exhibitions, from artwork to flight clothing, engines and vehicles, weapons and much more - certainly well worth a visit, for those who can get there.
PIC 1. Rose turret, mounting twin .50 cal Brownings, as fitted to late production Lancasters.
PICS 2 and 3. Some details on the Ju52/3M (Casa 352).
PIC 4. Rolls Royce Merlin engine.
PICS 5 and 6. Me410 details.
PIC 7. Martin Baker Mk4P ejection seat, used in the Jet Provost.
PIC 8. Front end of the Harrier GR9.
PIC 9. Vickers Varsity engine, with open 'petal' cowlings.
PIC 10. Hind cockpits.
PIC 11. Hurricane MkIIc close up.
PIC 12. A view up into the bomb aimer's compartment of the Avro Lincoln, looking through the escape hatch.
Thank you all for your interest and kind remarks, and I hope you've enjoyed the tour. Next one, hopefully, will be the Yorkshire Air Museum, in a month or two.

Thanks very much for the kind words chaps. Yes Karl, Mick and I are planning Elvington next, to meet up with you, and probably at the time Jan is at my place. Will let you know when I know more. Not paying for the tour of the Halifax though - it's £60 per head!

I agree Neil. Don't mind paying a reasonable fee, to help with the upkeep, volunteers time etc, but £60, per head, pre-booked, seems a bit steep to me!
Just wondering if there have been some major changes at the Museum, as their web site used to be excellent, with easy access, a good '3D' site plan and so on, and now, it's 'arty farty' designer stuff, giving more than a hint of 'Local Government' involvement ... but I hope I'm wrong !
