MOSI Manchester 2012 visit

15th Feb 2012

 

On a visit to family for a few days i took the opportunity to check out the Museum Of Science and Industry in Manchester.Two years have past since my last visit and i was looking forward to see what had changed in that time.

 

With time at a premium i only had time to visit the Power Hall which has the Rail Locomotives in and the Air and Space Hall with the Aviation Collection.I have posted pictures from both Halls.
