Day 6–8 June, we head for Sherborne

Nine in the morning Gary and Jane picked me up from the hotel and we started the first part of the journey to the Cornwall cottage.

After couple-of-hours driving on a multi-lane motorway we turned onto a narrower two lane road and were soon at a Naval air station that housed the Fleet Air Arm Museum. We covered half the museum before lunch and the rest after. Finally drove to Sherborne and stayed the night in an old coaching inn.

One of the few examples left of a roundel paint in gas sensitive

paint to show the piolet when he was flying through poisonous gas.

Of course a visit to a Fleet Air Arm museum wouldn’t be complete without a Walrus.
