Manchester Museum Of Science & Industry 08-10-2011

A visit to the aviation section of the MMOSI to get the various arrivals since my last visit several years ago. The lay-out of the collection is very poor, exhibits are placed very close together making photography near impossible also there appears to be a large number of non-aviation related items how present in this aviation section! It should also be noted that a number of exhibits owned by the museum are kept in an off-site store which isn't open to the public.

Sackville Lodge 01-10-2011

The main event of the day was the Grass Roots hot air balloon meet at Sackville. 40 balloons went up on the Saturday evening, not bad given the event had been posponed for a couple of weeks hoping for better weather.
