Yes Paul,
There is the aircraft and national war museum  at Duxford near Cambridge
the RAF museum at Hendon and the shuttlworth near Bedford, the latter
is very early aircraft.

There are workshops at Duxford where aircraft are being restored, Visitors
are allowed to view the aircraft.

At Duxford there is also the American WWII museum they have a founders book
should you wish to look someone up, near Cambridge the American WWII
cemetery.

Thanks Geof I will print this out and plan to see at least one of them
on Sunday. I have been to the RAF museum. I think Duxford is doable on
Sunday. We have a rental car. Is it better to drive or take a train?
Is there a stop at Duxford within walking distance of the museum?
Any tips on getting to M11 from downtown? I have a London Street Atlas.
