RTAF Museum

I managed a quick trip to the Royal Thai Airforce Museum at Don Mueang airport, Bangkok last week. A great museum with some rarely seen aircraft and well worth a visit.

Thanks for sharing these, I visited the museum in 1997 and there were some very interesting types displayed, I'm surprised to see that they've moved a couple of the older exhibits outside. The Percival Prince is a rarity and good to see survives. Well worth visiting if anyone is in that part of the world.

Worth the trip just for the Firefly and the SLUFF alone, Nick

Thanks for posting

What's that in shot 15? Is it a modified Bronco or something else altogether?

I'd second that. A great museum. The areas around Don Muang house a wealth of interesting types
