787 in London for those that cannot make Farnborough

LONDON’S Science Museum is playing host to a remarkable film in its IMAX theatre, part of a season of flight-themed series of events which are taking place during the school holidays.  Called “Legends of Flight 3D” the 45-minute long production takes you through 100 years of aviation culminating with the design, development and maiden take-off of the Boeing 787.  Warts and all in three-dimension.  Or at least most of them.  Heavily featured is the Hawker Siddeley Harrier, which 787 Chief Test Pilot Mike Carriker rates as the greatest of them all.  Suitable for anyone with an interest in flying. www.sciencemuseum.org.uk
