Some Military and Civilian Heraldry in Virginia Beach

Having made my way out the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach (the destination of my wandering about that day, as I noted in my last post here), I was pleasantly surprised to find not only a B-17G parked out back, but a Junkers Ju-52 trimotor transport plane from WWII.


And, of course, it had some German heraldry on its nose.


Sitting amongst the other planes in the hanger, there was a Spitfire Mark IX ...


With a really great heraldic hunting horn painted on its side.


But airplanes are not the only thing the museum there has. Here was a nice old Jaguar ...


With that great Jaguar Cars Ltd. logo of a jaguar’s head cabossed (face on, with no neck showing).


What a great way to spend a part of the day!
