Yes, I know about it because I was there in 1994 on my way back from Africa. My wife
and daughter stayed in Europe and my son and I did the Imperial War Museum, the Airfield
at Duxford, the Destroyer in the Thames (I forget the name) and Gosport. I first heard
about it by reading the book, Monsters and Midgets. The author, Richard Compton Hall,
is the museum curator.
