Duxford is said to be famous for its aerospace base tradition. Today is sunny, clouds are floating in the sky. We ride a coach to the Imperial War Musem in Duxford.
Six hangars compose the museum. The airspace is alleged to be Duxford's landmark. And it is really worthy the honor. On stepping into the hall, I am stunned by the array of all kinds of aircrafts and aeroengines. Concorde, spitfire, Tornado...and many other ones which I have never seen or never heared their name befor even more. Also there are several kinds aeroengines in the exhibition such as piston engienes, turbojets engines, turbofan engines. Most of them were made by Rolls&Royce. 
Another interesting hangar is the American Air Museum. Its hall is full of vigor when you look at it far away. When we walk in, most of us can't help screaming "wow". A strategic bomber named B-52 is right facing the door. And it's wing span is almost the same as
width of the hall. What a titanic body! I deeply feel the meaning of the word " heavy bomber". Also in this hall, we firstly see the BLACKBIRD-SR71 ---the fatest and highest airplane in the world. Many classmates crowd to take photos with it.

Many classmates crowd to take photos with it. Other hangars exhibits land warfare and some submarines, the content are varied which though i have not much interest in.
Time flies. When we have to return, everyone breath sigh of the limited time.
I do hope to re-visit Duxford.

Hi Michael! I've just read your self-introduction and your account of your visit to Duxford. Your writing is really interesting and very good.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to use paragraphs in longer pieces of writing. Start a new one for a new idea. It makes it easier to read.
A better way of saying 'the contain are rich' would be 'the contents are varied'. Also it would be better to say 'I do hope to return to' or 'I do hope to re-visit' Duxford.
You are doing really well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Audrey. You are so kind!
