I was thinking more like Davros, leader of the Daleks !

Yep, good stuff; even more stuff from IWM Lambeth there, including the Zero centre section, the German minisub Biber 90 and the gun from the cruiser HMS Chester at which Jack Cornwell VC maintained his post during the battle of Jutland and paid the ultimate price for his gallantry.

There mustn't be anything left at IWM Lambeth now...

There's been a 'shuffle around' Grant - quite a few of the exhibits in the Land Warfare Hall have been moved, presumably to Lambeth, notably the early PzKfw IV and III, and other tanks and trucks etc.

Terry, I've heard the new exhibition space is not very well received at Lambeth, have you been yet? By the looks of things, some of the items that made Lambeth pretty neat are now at DX.

Haven't been to IWM Lambeth since the late 1960's Grant !
Passed it (on the Tube) a couple of years back, but didn't have time to visit. Always wondered what happened to the very nice, large scale, scratch-built models, and the huge Lancaster airfield diorama.
