I've got to admit I'm not aware of a TV museum in Birmingham but there are so many museums and so many things. I wouldn't be surprised if there was one but Birmingham International BHI, it's famous. You'll see it on YouTube an awful lot. When we have high winds here they get a crosswind across the runway and it's absolutely phenomenal watching these YouTube videos of planes struggling to try and land at 45 degrees onto the runway. I use it extensively for work. I've flown all over the UK and there and also into Europe from there. It's about 20 miles away from me, very convenient but I can also pick up the tower and the ground control, the approach control for the rest of it on the radio and the air band. That makes fascinating listening too. I used to take the kids up there when they were little. It was a free day out because you never lost a lot of money when the kids were younger. So we go to Birmingham and we go to the viewing tower because it was free to get in and take some sandwiches and some cola for them. There was always guys up there with binoculars and radios and they used to keep the kids entertained and on the way home we used to go to an aquatics place which again was another freebie and they had all hundreds if not thousands of tanks of different fish and aquatic vegetation and they had this great big tank right at the back. I mean I'm talking huge. I'm talking 20, 30 feet deep and probably 50 to 100 feet across. It had a big shark in it. Eventually the shark outgrew the tank and had to relocate it to somewhere else. That was our rainy, sunny day out at Birmingham Airport followed by surely aquatics on the way home. I hope that answered your question. Sorry I'd have never heard of the TV museum.
