    Hi all,

    I'm planning a trip to England to stay with family near Birmingham next month, but I also want to put a few days aside to take some WW2 tours and visit places likes Bletchley. I presume everything will be around the London area, which is no problem, but could anyone recommend any good WW2 guided tours or sites that are worth visiting? Old RAF bases etc?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Cosford.......only a short train ride from Brum and the RAF Museum has a branch there. Lots of WW2 stuff as well as Cold War exhibits including examples of each of the V-Bombers.

    There's also a certain olive drab Cortina there Tac Foley might recognise ;)

    EDIT: Just checked......it's an Opel Senator not a Ford Cortina.
