Duxford Air Museum - just outside of Cambridge. They've got a sweet selection of British and American aircraft, they even crammed a B52 into the US hanger. There is also a display with some tanks and such, I think they've got a Centurian in there (ran out of time to visit that section)

there's plenty of places to get pics of american aircraft in the Uk. Mildenhall (KC-135s and other big stuff) Bentwaters & Woodbridge (A-10) Fairford (big stuff inc B-52s when theyre bombing) Lakenheath & Upr Heyford (used to be F-111s and A-5s, dunno what they do now) and Prestwick airport in Scotland (various transport stuff)

course if you moved your ass down to Portsmouth you could take a look at Invincible or Ark Royal if they're in, and get a look at our Harriers.

Somebody was selling an F-18 on eBay once. I would have bidded if I had $1,000,000. Anyway, if you could see an A-10 or Apache, don't turn the machine guns. Half the time, they still are loaded and turning them makes them fire. I was at an air museum once, and wanted to turn it, but the teacher wouldn't let me .

A friend of mine in Sweden managed to sneak somehow into a restricted area and took a pic of a "stealth" boat. I saw the photo - sth like F117 (?) on water. Cool! Lucky bastard!
Anyway, military shows (you should have'em - what army doesn't boast!) are the best place. Of course, you won't get secret weapons, but some shots of conventional craft are practically guaranteed.

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain
