Having accidentally found myself in Hanoi with a spare morning, a trip to a military museum was required. Originally intending to go to the supposedly disappointing Vietnam War Museum, my driver ended up dropping me off instead at the
Air Force Museum.
The Air Force Museum doesn't appear all that prominently in the normal guidebooks but as you will see is still pretty good, especially for a wargamer!
(yes, it is an "88"..!)
The museum has a large static park containing and (admittedly) limited range of aircraft and AA guns as used by the Vietnamese Air Force during the Vietnam war and immediately afterwards in some other conflicts (which don't really seem to get much of a look-in).
You can walk around the grounds and climb all over the kit if you wish, so its very much a hands-on experience.
It was a fairly decent and bright day without being overly sunny, so I managed to get a good number of pretty clear photos using my iPhone camera
All of the 100-odd photos are online on my website for you to have a virtual walk-round of the
Vietnamese Peoples Air Force Museum
