When he got to the Science Museum, Mr Monkey scampered up to the third level, to look at the Flight gallery. Here he saw many model aircraft, including this 1/50 scale Montgolfier balloon, and many real aircraft, including a Hurricane, Alcock and Brown's Vickers Vimy, and an SE5a converted into a skywriter.
The Science Museum website includes a special online exhibition all about the Flight Gallery.
