This video was posted by Visit London a couple days ago and I thought it was worth sharing. It’s a quick rundown of some littler known museums in London. Very cool!

Spitfires Mark Churchill Speech Anniversary
August 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
You can file this under ‘I wish I was in London today.’ To mark the 70th anniversary of Churchill’s famous Battle of Britain Speech – a special ceremony was held in London today outside the Churchill Museum.
The star of the show was one of the last original Spitfires doing a flyby along with some Hurricanes. Very cool.
Here’s a couple videos from ITN News of the day.

This is an interesting bit of news. It’s a shame – generally the Brits zealously protect anything of historical value. It’s even a small tourist attraction.
I guess Liverpool Town Council thinks of him as ‘just the drummer.’

Here’s a great video summary of the history of British Airways – it’s a little dated but the information is still relevant.

A compilation of the history of British Empire Airways & BOAC and their eventual merger as British Airways.
Cool Video – Day in London in 1,200 Pictures

This is a really cool take on London. It’s described as:
DAY IN LONDON: the tenth day was an experiment — mixing (a) old friends, (b) new friends, (c) the capital city of a kingdom, (d) 1,200 photos, and (e) late afternoon ice cream in the park.
It’s pretty sweet.
