heh.. a bit anti-superstar-mood to post photos of Imperial War Museum here. But still, i think some are really cool and you must see them. =]
My senior and I spent 6 hours in the museum, skipped lunch cuz the sandwiches cost 3.5 pounds in the cafe, and took 152 photos! and we did not manage to cover all the things..
We weren't allowed to take photos of the Holocaust. The things they displayed inside...the interviews..reports..stats etc, were really traumatising... as one of the survivors put it: '... after what happened, there's forever an unease with mankind...'

a display of REAL warfighters from the world wars.

hmm.. news on Japanese Occupation of Singapore

Victoria Cross, to the men of extraordinary bravery

British MARK 1.. first tank to appear on battlefield, during the trench fighting in WW1

German V II.. perhaps the ancestor of ballistic missiles

15-inch naval gun on display outside the museum.. they were the actual ones.. not mould. =]
