Milan Museum of Science & Technology - 17 September 2019

[acklington]

Rather like the Science Museum in London, this large national museum has an aerospace section with a dozen or so aircraft. I took the following photos with my camera phone - it was too hot to lug my proper camera case half-way across Milan!

The reason for my visit, with its personalised registration just for me! The art deco Ambrosini Super 7, this one built post-war and marked with its air racing glories, including at Brighton in 1952. Just gone top of my aircraft hit list!
