Fleet Air Arm Museum

We have returned to the excellent Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovillton. Lucy is comparing the weight of different materials that aircraft can be made from. Hopefully she now knows why Concorde was not made of lead.

Lucy loves watching a Phantom take off on the aircraft carrier simulator.
