    Duxford!

    Was passing by on our way to Cambridge -no flying, and a cold and windy day - took a few shots inside to pass the time -

    Thanks for the nice pictures Lefty. But your comment give me reason for concerns. Somehow I have the feeling that museums move in a direction I don't really like. The lack of money drives them more into an entertainment park than an area in which the past is preserved.

    I do understand that museums need money, but that doesn't mean that I have to like the way they are trying to het this.....

    Just a thought...........

    Huub, you are quite right - although we have to admit there is a wider audience than just us aviation nuts !

    Here in Scotland, quite a lot of people (including me) were upset that so much money was spent bringing Concorde - with little or no Scottish connection - to our Museum of Flight. Especially when there is another Beaufighter lying in bits in a store room round the back....

    However at least the Bolingbroke/Blenheim has been finished, so we'll keep our fingers crossed.

    The refurbished US museum at Duxford was a little disappointing - just a reshuffle really.
