Here are a few of the pictures I also took of the Apollo Moon Mission display during the summer of 2019:
This was the very first picture I took:
14th June 2019
5th July 2019
2nd August 2019
This one is the very last photo I took before the display was dismantled to put in the winter/spring 2020 display:
19th September 2019
I also took some photos of the Concorde display, which also celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2019:
Again here is the very first picture I took on 30th May 2019:
21st June 2019
3rd July 2019
6th August 2019
Here is the very last photo I took on 19th September 2019:
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to go to St Ives during 2019 due to the national lockdown due to the Coronavirus so I don’t have any photos of St Ives even though it is only 5 miles away!

Thank you all for your comments! 👍 I don't know if any of you realized but I made a mistake at the end of this blog - let's see who can find it! 😂

I thought St. Ives was in Cornwall, but then there might be one in Huntingdonshire for all I know.
19 Mar, 2021
should that have been 2020 not 2019?
19 Mar, 2021
You are quite right, SBG!
There is a St Ives in Cambridgeshire and in Cornwall!
21 Mar, 2021
So now I know. The one in Cornwall is very nice. I wonder which one the man with 7 wives was going to?
22 Mar, 2021
The one just 5 miles from Huntingdon! There is a pub in the town called "The Seven Wives"!
23 Mar, 2021
That would make a great quiz question!
23 Mar, 2021
I think you will find it does indeed come up quiz questions as they ask how many people were going to St Ives!
