Not much in central London, but let him drag you out to Duxford, outside Cambridge. It's about an hour by train from Kings Cross, then a free shuttle bus from the station to the museum. He'll love it; you won't mind it, then you can make him take you into Cambridge for a look at the colleges, perhaps a visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum, and a meal at one of the many fine restaurants in the city.<BR><BR>If you want to be impressed and moved, take the Cambridge hop-on, hop-off bus tour out to the American Military Cemetery at Madingley where many U.S. soldiers and airmen are buried.<BR><BR>Have a great trip,<BR><BR>Virginia

On the outskirts of NW London are the RAF Museum and the Battle of Britain Museum--both excellent WWII air museums. You can reach them by the underground (I have forgotten which line). You and your husband will enjoy these sites.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Jinx Hoover<BR><BR>P.S.--Duxford is great, also.

The RAF museum is presented in several hangars of old Hendon Airfield. It is reached by a short walk from Colindale Station on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line. The way is signposted from the tube station, if memory serves me right. It is well worth a visit.<BR><BR>Enjoy your trip<BR><BR>Phil
