飞行博物馆

6月27日跟台湾家庭搭火车到一个小镇（4月我们去看城堡时去过的小镇），然后换巴士，到‘飞行博物馆’参观。那里除了展览各式各样的民航和国防飞机，也摆设已经不再飞的民航超音速飞机‘协和号’。起初以为会有一些让小孩子玩的展览，可是到了之后发现没有。博物馆设在为第二次世界大战而建的机场，参观旧飞机，也同时参观被遗弃的机场。因为飞机多数只供观看，不准触碰，不准靠太近，所以不大适合靖恒游玩。我得一直嚷着靖恒，甚至追着他跑。靖恒对这些不再响彻云霄的飞机也感到很困惑，一直问我：“为什么不会飞？”，难掩对于不能坐飞机起飞而失望的表情。

Ethan and I went with a Taiwanese family to visit the Museum of Flight, situated in East Fortune Airfield. It is near North Berwick, where we had gone in April when visiting Tantallon Castle. This time we also took a train to North Berwick, but got up on a bus there that took us to the museum. The Museum of Flight houses the now defunct Concorde which, I suppose, is their prime attraction. Although there were many exhibits of old planes, there was not much time to view them properly, because I had to prevent Ethan from going too near the aircraft and damaging the exhibits, since the barriers were really quite ineffective. Ethan was also obviously disappointed that he couldn't get on the aeroplanes and fly.
