My Museum Experience by Emma

                              Museum of Flight

On Thursday 19th of November primary 7 went on a trip to the Museum of Fight to find out more about the RAF during World War 2. After all our hard work on fundraising primary 7 had enough money to pay for the coach. When we saw the Concorde all of our mouths were wide open with shock, none of us had ever seen a plane so big! We found out that Britain was very good at capturing planes so that is why there was quite a lot of German  planes there. We all especially liked a plane called the Comet. The wheels would drop off when the plane was in the sky so when it landed it would bounce on the ground. Primary 7 thoroughly enjoyed it and we would all love to go back.

Primary 7's Experience at The National Flight Museum by Oliwia

On Thursday 19th November Primary 7 went to 'The National Museum of Flight' at East Fortune. First when we entered the museum we saw the 'Concorde'! I was really shocked to see it and my first words were 'wow'! We got to go on the 'Concorde' and it was amazing but the windows on it are really small! A couple hours later we saw the Nazi (German) plane which is called 'The Comet'. When the Comet took off it dropped of its wheels which made it really dangerous when the pilot was landing. We also got to see different clothes that were used in the war. Some of the suits are very heavy as they are made of sheepskin and leather. East Fortune was used for training not flying/landing planes. East Fortune was also far away from the big cities and close to sea for submarines. There were also blast shelters around the museum. The blast shelters were shaped like a hill and used for going into them when a bomb was dropping.
