Having accidentally found myself in Hanoi with a spare morning, a trip to a military museum was required. Originally intending to go to the supposedly disappointing Vietnam War Museum, my driver ended up dropping me off instead at the
Vietnamese Peoples Air Force Museum.
This place doesn't appear all that prominently in the normal guidebooks but
as you will see is still pretty good, especially for a wargamer!
(yes, it does appear to be an "88"..!)
The museum has a large static park containing and (admittedly) limited range of aircraft and AA guns as used by the Vietnamese Air Force during the Vietnam war and immediately afterwards in some other conflicts (which don't really seem to get much of a look-in).
You can walk around the grounds and climb all over the kit if you wish, so its very much a hands-on experience.
It was a fairly decent and bright day without being overly sunny, so I managed to get a good number of pretty clear photos using my iPhone camera, all of which are now on

Nice discovery...Looks like cool place to visit.
