Nice photos, Sharkbiteattack; it's very difficult to photograph well at Hendon due to lighting, without some adjustment, those halogen bulbs in the roof of the main halls turn everything green.

A note about the Miles Mohawk, the black aeroplane with the orange wings near the Harrier that might interest you American types. It was designed especially for Charles Lindbergh, who wanted a fast two-seat tourer for him and his wife. He flew it on some long distance flights from the UK, including to Russia and India. It's at Hendon because it was impressed into RAF service during WW2 - Lindbergh gifted it to the UK government.
pretty sure i have one on my other computer i'll look tomorrow and post it in the relevant thread if i have oneThanks Nuuman! Does anyone have pics of this plane? I started a thread a few days ago about Lindbergh's planes in museums.

it has been ages since I last went to Hendon!...some good shots here ...but you didn't go to the Battle of Britain hall then ?
..worth pointing out that there are more ex-Luftwaffe airframes on display at Hendon than in any other museum in the world...
And a Bf109E, He-111, and Bf-110G.
