点评:I admit I’m not into military aircraft and flying. My focus is commercial aircraft and flying.
The Solent sky museum combines both, but leans a little more to military. There are some superb aircraft in the collection including a spitfire. The flying boat though - for me - was the star of the show. To be able to board the aircraft was a great highlight. Then wandering upstairs we found the flying boat exhibition, with very informative information boards, maps etc.
one other highlight for me was the Schneider trophy exhibition. This is incredible history of man’s achievement to fly faster.
there is also an exhibition of Hampshire fire and rescue, which was being worked on whilst we were there.
There is a ‘drinks hut’ with an honesty box for payment.
There is a shop, with a huge amount of model kits and second hand books. Personally I was somewhat underwhelmed by the items available to purchase.
翻译:我承认自己对军用飞机和飞行并不感兴趣,我更关注民用飞机与飞行。
索伦特航空博物馆虽两者皆有展示,但偏重于军用飞机。馆内收藏了不少出色的飞机,其中包括一架“喷火式”战斗机。不过对我而言,那架水上飞机才是整个展览的亮点。能够登上飞机体验一番真是令人难忘的经历。随后我们上楼,发现了专门展示水上飞机的展区,那里有内容详实的信息牌、地图等资料。对我来说,另一个亮点就是施耐德奖杯展览。它展现了人类为实现更快飞行速度所做出的种种努力,真是一段了不起的历史。
现场还有汉普郡消防与救援队的展览,我们在那里的时候他们仍在布展中。
另有一个“饮品小屋”,采用自助付款的方式,设有诚信付款箱。
还有一个商店,里面有大量的模型套件和二手书籍。不过就个人而言,我觉得可购买的物品种类略显单调,没能让我心动。
