Another brilliant museum with lots to see is East Midlands aeropark. Situated right next door to the airport at castle Donington,this museum represents great value for money at only £5 quid an adult. with so much to see, it’s well worth a visit.
Starting off with this beautiful Sepcat Jaguar GR3a, XZ369

Lovely, good to see it’s in pretty good condition. Such a beautiful plane with such a weird landing gear configuration.
Shame of those drop tanks though…
It is a cracking looking machine for sure. What do you mean by weired gear configuration ?

Just look at it, it’s an engineering marvel of over-dimensioning it. And then making it all fit when tucked in.
Clever stuff. I’m an engineer by trade and even I marvel at some of the engineering used in the military.
Another fine example is the v-22 osprey rotor and wing fold. Fantastic!
