John
Hendon is the RAF museum, great and quite accesable from the city.
There is the National War Museum in London as I remember it is on the
south
bank.
Also there is Cosford which concentates more on experimental miitary
types
that never made it to prime time very interesting all the same.
Flying, well you should definately aim to meet up with Mark Jefferies
he is
at a little place called Little Gransden. For a few bucks maybe he will
give
you a ride in his Yak 11 (see www.yakuk.co.uk) He lists here and
because you
are correct side of the road challenged he may even arrange for you to
be
picked up from the local train station.
On the trains, please don't even try. Driving on the "other" side of
the
road is not a big deal. Just remember that you need to sit in the
middle of
the road and do what ever it needs to keep it that way. Roundabouts, or
to
you circles are just 4 way stops with a pretty little garden in the
middle.
Rent a car and try it out I did it when I got here with no real
problem. If
the police stop you just play the tourist who knows no better. They
will
laugh and then hopefully help you out.
Gus

Duxford. One must go to Duxford while in London. It is about 45min to 1hr
north of the city passed Stanstead. It has an unbelievable collection of
aircrafts from all era and much of them fly on a regular basis.
When I went to London last may, I rented a car and drove for 3 days. No big
deal. The biggest challenge is to actually approach the car from the driving
side. I found myself sitting on the passenger side more then once... The
rest comes naturally, in fact, is was a very enjoyable experience.
Cheers.
Dan

When one is driving a vehicle designed for the area, the trick is simple -- driver
is always to the center of the road.
Brian has the reverse situation as he will drive from the outside (but this should
suit as he is used to shouldering his way through life anyway).
I've found the UK to be an enjoyable driving experience - great small, winding
roads, traffic circles that make much more sense than our four way stops, etc.

Do not miss the opportunity to fly with Gennady Elfimov in Bobbington. His
Yak 52 transition training is superb. Singularly the finest instructor I've
ever flown with. His web site can be found at http://www.skytrace.co.uk

Oh happy day! Flying again. Jim Selby et al's work is complete. Dave King
and I had one of the prettiest formation rides I can recall back home from
Marina yesterday.
Should you visit Gnoss Field, please visit the newly established Selby & Soto
Sanctuary where incense curls toward the top of my hangar and prayers and
small offerings are made daily. ...Blitz
