Raf Cosford Air museum is 
Hendon is also.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Theres also the Tank museum (think its in a place called duxford, but might be wrong). The museum with the enigma breaker, or the signals museum near swansea

Went to the imperial war museum as a kid and totally hated it, due to the fact that the veichles looked like they had just come off the production line

I have, it's good to look at all of the cars and have a sit in them. The driving experiences are meant to be pretty good aswell but I didn't get a chance to do it. Definately won't take up a day though imo.

portsmouth dockyard is a good day out i work on the maintenance of the victory too, so i see it a bit differently to how i used to and you pay for a ticket for all the attractions so you get access to
the victory
the warrior
mary rose
actions stations
harbour tour
and all the museums
