Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A collection of old vehicles on Level 0 of Thinktank Birmingham Science Museum. The area called "Move It"

These were most likely in display at one time or another in the old Science Museum on Newhall Street (until 1997).

When not on display, some of them had been stored at the Museum Collections Centre on Dollman Street in Nechells.


This plane from the Second World War is the Hawker Hurricane Mark IV.

They shot down 60 per cent of enemy aircraft during the 1940 Battle of Britain.

300 Hurricanes were built at the Austin motor car plant in Longbridge, Birmingham.

From Level 2, it wasn't as easy to see the Hurricane from up here, as it was the Spitfire.

At this direction, the Spitfire tail got in the way of the Hurricane.
