Leafing through Sopwith design plans circa 1913.

Visited the National Museum of Flight in North Berwick a week ago. Spent most of our time gawking at the Concorde in its massive hangar. But as we were headed back to the bus shelter to catch a late bus this gentleman grabbed us and asked if we’d like to see something wonderful. We followed him into a much smaller workshop. He went on with the pride and enthusiasm shown above to explain and give is a tour of their now 10 year project to rebuild a 1915 Sopwith 1½ Strutter.

We left Trevor 45 minutes later and headed back to the bus shelter. 5 minutes after that Trevor drove up and gave us a ride to the train station. Best museum visit since a friend who worked at the Museum of Natural History in NYC took me behind the scenes where the rest of their collections are stored.
