Iconic Items in the Science Museum, London

Some photos of iconic items in the Science Museum, London, taken when I was there in 2017: The Apollo 10 command module "Charlie Brown", complete with the effects of re-entry on the underside, A Saturn V second-stage engine, a cut-away of a Parsons steam turbine, and "Puffing Billy", the world's oldest steam locomotive.
