Hot lazy days in Desert Hot Springs.

The weather here at the moment is just wonderful, endless sunshine and temperatures just popping over the 30c mark. We haven't being doing much other than going to the pool, and in the afternoon looking for shade, which there's very little of here.
Yesterday bright and early we went into Palm Springs to get the truck washed, we went to this car wash and what an experence. I am sure they have these types of car washes in Europe but I've never seen any, just watching all these men swarming over the truck was worth the price.

The final wipe, they even polished the tire's. 

We then went on to the Air Museum.

 

This old boy started life with RAF in March 45 and the flew with just about all the other Commonwealth air forces before going into the private sector and finely ending up here in Palm Springs and its still flying- amazing.

Ruth was quite taken with the museum lots of human interest stories associated with planes, that was good left me to look at the planes and the engines.

  

 

18 cylinder Pratt & Whitney Radial,  9 cylinder Curtiss Wright Radial.

 

Huey-Cobra. It must have been pretty scary having this machine hunting you down.

The museum is in three parts European Theatre, Japanese Theatre and the more recent stuff outside, couldn't do it full justice by the time I got this far it was getting a tad warm.

 

Just love the art work.

By the time I got this far the heat was getting to me and went in search of Ruth, had to drag here away, she was having a great time reading about the lives of the people who built and flew these planes.
