This reminded me of a giant insect.

Sunday challenge 186: Free subject When I left school at 18, I got a job with the Institute of Aviation Medicine, the IAM, a subdivision of the RAE, the royal Aircraft Establishment. Everything was exciting in those days, and I joined the gliding club which met at weekends on the airfield. The glider was towed using either a Jaguar car or a Tiger Moth. I have been in the latter several times, towing a glider, and actually have taken the controls for a short time. Both the gliding and the Tiger Moth expriences live in my memory, and I often wonder how I was such a daredevil. These days I'm just an old lady with a camera. ;-) This photo was taken at the Cosford Air Museum, as was the PiP.

The V&A Dundee, designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, at a cost of £80 millionm is Scotland's first design museum. Located on the on the banks of the River Tay, it opened to the public on 15 September. Kuma designed the building to evoke the dramatic cliffs of Scotland's coastline. Built on reclaimed land, the museum stands at the centre of a £1 billion transformation of Dundee's former docks. The museum extends over the River Tay with a pointed corner that protrudes like the bow of a boat. This prow-shaped space contains the museum's large entrance space, cafe and shop, with timber walls the reference the building's concrete exterior cladding.

The museum of the Gorge was built in 1834 in a gothic style and once served as the Severn Warehouse for the Coalbrookdale Company. Goods would be brought down from the furnaces and forges in Coalbrookdale and shipped down the river Severn to the markets of Gloucester, Bristol and the Empire beyond.
