Got there on time this morning and got a compact story of the Museum. One of the first exhibits was the actual Life boat the those Somali pirates used to kidnap Cpt. Phillips.
A piece of the Berlin Wall.
The Instrument of the Japanese surrender.
The Seals used these to practice when the Apollo capsules.
This machine uses a VW air cooled engine.
Then there was this,
Oh, and of course a Hi-Lux.
Outside were some great boats including ones used in Vietnam, twin engined (Diesel) powering 9" water jet propulsion needing a 9" draught.
These were similar but for troop carrying.
Lastly a Huey from the Vietnam war.
More pictures to follow and more on the Huey from the afternoons visit. One for Mike @mwpe
Tony.
ps. Every one of these exhibits has been used in a conflict around the world.
