5. The only one I know is the Harrier. Because of my late husband's love of aircraft, I spent a lot of time looking at planes at the Air & Space Museum in Wash., D.C. and in Duxford in the UK. I probably have a picture of a Harrier in one of my photo albums.

A great selection, all of them winners!  Have a friend who's part of the volunteer group at Duxford, Lady K - he loves it...

Have a friend who's part of the volunteer group at Duxford, Lady K - he loves it... Back in 1994 I got to fly in the Dragon Rapide at Duxford. It's the type of plane Hercule Poirot flew in when David Suchet was playing him in the series. I think his plane is at the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon. Here's a picture of the plane and one of me inside. I couldn't stop grinning! https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/v618/Lady_Kestrel/DragonRapide.jpg
