Eck! I knew we used dummy aircraft on the ground to fool the german recon...but dummys in the war rooms...c'mon.
Nice one.
Been there too, took about an hour to get around, really is worth a visit.
Thanks for posting the pics
My family has never mentioned it...
We went to the London one just after it opened (80's?) and it was very interesting.
Did this Liverpool one have a similar story - abandoned and locked up at the end of WWII, and discovered decades later in it's original condition?
I'll put it on the list for my Feb. trip....
An interesting article on the Western Approaches from an American author -
http://www.historyarticles.com/western_approaches.htm
Seems well done, and talks about the 1.2 million GIs (2.1 in another section) that came in through Liverpool.
When Americans find out I am from Liverpool - it's interesting that a lot of the WWII veterans remember Liverpool, and the march from the Pier Head to Lime Street station...
I wondered why I met so many of them, but the 1.2 million number puts it into perspective.
