I've found the curators of each of these museums to be very helpful. At Cosford I was permited to board their Liberator (now at Hendon) and photograph it extensively. At Hendon I did the same with their Blenheim and at Duxford their Shackleton, also at Duxford I was given a tour of their workshops without even asking, an added bonus.
oh yea Cosford.. Fantastic, massive amount of expermental and specialsit stuff.

the V1, V2, the radio/wire guided bombs, the air to air missiles, Komet, A 262 (I think).

Also if you into post war jets, 3 lightning prototypes (amazing), a TSR2, the fairy delta, laods of other stuff I cant remember. Even dead easy to get to nbot far from the M6.

Another must do.
