(I'm standing right next to it, on the same floor level. It's about three feet high!)

An oldy, since I'm archiving some stuff. Adam gets busy while Scotty drinks beer. I won't suggest that this is an example of anything... (In actual fact, they're trying to get a frisbee out of a tree!)

Okay, since people have asked... it's a presentation with a television and a series of mirrors all around it at two angles of attack. From any distance away, it looks like a globe of televisions, even though there's only one actual screen. From close up... hello!

Shame I didn't have a polariser with me, but then, I'd have needed a tripod too. Aaaanyway, here's the decidedly analogue main flight control for the very first ever British Concorde. (There was a French prototype too — 001.) By the end of Concorde's life as a commercial airliner, this scene was altogether more computerised and made up of screens, of course. As it was though, I sat for a while trying to imagine keeping abreast of everything here and actually flying the thing. It was also rather sad to see this aeroplane with all its test and measurement equipment and markings, and to think that whilst they were watching closely as the wings deflected and the fuselage stretched (by several inches during every supersonic flight!), the undoubtedly wonderful engineers nevertheless missed the flaw that would cause several rudders to fail and contribute to the type's demise.

At the North Woolwich Old Station Museum, which was once the terminus of a railway line and is now a small museum to it. It's about to enjoy a renaissance as a museum to all of London's suburban railways, and will include Britain's first main-line-powered electric preserved railway — also to be used for training purposes, which is kinda cool.

In the "Cradle of Aviation" museum at the old Grumman works on Long Island. This isn't a museum mock-up: it's the actual lander which would have gone to the moon had not the Apollo 18 mission been cancelled.
