点评:Hughenden Manor is up there with one of the best National Trust houses we have ever visited. The home of Benjamin Disraeli, fortunately they have maintained most of his furnishings, pictures and artefacts most of which his wife Mary designed and had made by master craftsmen.
The RAF map rooms give a fantastic insight into the skills the employees had to give the RAF pilots intricate maps of the bomb sights in Germany, Italy and other enemy countries to help the war effort.
The exhibition of the Antarctic expedition in 1901/1904 which Disraeli persuaded the government to fund which at the time was deemed a disaster. But in actual fact the vast biological, geological and meteorological information they acquired helped future expeditions enormously. It shows the unbelievable hardships the men endured in the frozen north trying to make their way to the North Pole.
Well worth the visit….👏👏

这里的皇家空军地图室则让我们深刻领略到工作人员的精湛技艺——他们为空军飞行员制作了极为精细的地图,标明德国、意大利及其他敌国的轰炸目标,从而为战争胜利作出了重要贡献。这次展览展示了1901年至1904年间进行的南极探险。当时迪斯雷利说服政府为这次探险提供资金,可这次探险最终被视作一次失败。但实际上,探险队所获得的大量生物学、地质学及气象学资料对后来的探险活动帮助极大。展览还展现了那些探险者在冰天雪地中为抵达北极所历经的难以想象的艰辛。
绝对值得一去……👏👏
