Hello Wanderizm Love the tour. We have a working Lancaster, here in my home town in Canada, one of only two that still fly from the 70,000 built during the war. world. You know when it goes over as it is very loud. I could just imagine what hundreds of them would sound like going over head. Take Care Chris and Sandra of Canada.
Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing this information, Chris and Sandra! 👍 I'm still amazed at how these planes were able to alter the course of history!
Hello from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil! Your video is excellent, thank you for all images. My wife and me went to Imperial War Museum in London in August 2018 and was one of my dreams accomplished. I did good pictures there and at HMS Belfast as well, and after the visit we walked to Waterloo Station for a coffee and some trains pictures there. I am 64 and have many British books & videos about First and Second World Wars. I like military & railway subjects since my childhood. I am a Royal Navy enthusiast. This museum is inspiring by the fact to try to learn people what happened through History and to avoid wars, not to do them. London and UK deserves a 2nd visit, have many other things to see there. All the best to you!
Thank you so much for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed the virtual tour. This museum is easily on my top 5 as well! 😊 I’ve been at least 5x and will come back again in the future. Have you also been to the Royal Airforce Museum? Highly recommended! 👍 I’ve been twice now and filmed it as well, it’s on my channel incase you are interested to see. Hope you and your wife can visit London again when it’s safer to travel! Take care!
@@Wanderizm Thank you very much for your kind words! Unfortunately we were unable to visit RAF Museum at Hendon, but I will watch your video and put a personal visit on my wish list when we'll go to London after pandemic. We've been fully vaccinated already but, for now, it's not safe to do air trips yet. Regarding IWM I was very happy to see and photograph the Supermarine Spitfire: this fighter helped RAF to save your country during Battle of Britain in 1940. I pictured myself between the two naval 15' guns exposed outside the museum (from HMS Ramillies and HMS Resolution battleships), what a emotion! Take care yourself too!
Very nice, you kept the promise of covering museums after lockdown :) V&A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum and National Gallery could be next on the list! Will also check out the one you uploaded of the British Museum, this tour was fabulous.
Brilliant, I could spend the day in there and every other museum in London. Unfortunately my wife wouldn't, so this video was great, and maybe one day I'll get to see it :-)

Sadly this museum is a shadow of its former self. What a disappointment it is now. This was supposed to be a museum dedicated to the lives of the British and Commonwealth service personnel that have fought in conflicts since 1914. Previously they had a wealth of exhibits that took us through the lives, the human cost, their valour, their leadership, their endurance and resilience and their sacrifice, with 1000's of artefacts telling those stories. We could see their uniforms, their equipment, their weapons and it allowed us to imagine their experience. It didn't glorify war but made you aware those involved were just like us. If memory serves me right, we moved from The Great War, into World War Two and the conflicts since: Korea, Northern Ireland, The Falklands, Gulf War One and Two, and through these exhibits we took no glory in these conflict but it allowed us to see what our forces had to contend with. Seeing the POW uniforms of Gulf War RAF pilots gave the news reports a validity; this was real people with a real story who suffered real hardship. On my return, I was truly disappointed to see that although the WW1 exhibit is still in place, everything else has been distilled, dumbed down, if I am being frank, in to half a dozen exhibits at best. Falklands? An Exocet, a winter warfare DPM jacket for a war artist and some newspaper cuttings. That's it. The conflict that has influenced UK society almost as much as the two World Wars summed up like that. Korea? I saw nothing. Northern Ireland: an armoured car, some local artist's work and a audio track. The counter argument maybe that in its old form it did not educate but now, all it lends itself to is a 90 minute school trip with edited high lights of conflict. School children were there in their 100's, but in reality I dont think they learned anything useful. The Holocaust exhibition: this was excellent. People were visibly moved and it pulled no punches. But why was it there? The Holocaust, as appalling and shocking as it was, was the policy of a fascist German government of extermination of any one it decreed to be less than human. This did not reflect anything to do with the lives of British servicemen, which *was* the whole reason for the museum. This heart breaking and thoughtful exhibition could be somewhere else, and the space be returned to the purpose of the museum. It has no relevance to UK armed forces, other than the overall strategic objective of the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany in the shortest time possible. Buy the £5 guide, it has pictures of almost all the exhibits out side of the Holocaust or the Great War. You could just head off after that.
