When I wrote my initial thread I did put a some thought into what I felt would be a better geographically i.e. Lincolnshire or Yorkshire as both can make an equal claim.

My choice of Scampton was made on the fact it’s history is as well known internationally, it is very complete, reletively accessable , but more importantly (this day & age) available in a few years at little cost to the taxpayer to set up.

But my main reason for making the suggestion is that the U.K’s “big three” have many aircraft that have yet to see the light of day. It goes without saying- most bombers are large aircraft, so concentrating them in a (near) central site would release a helluva lot of room to display many of those in storage.

Sorry if seems that I was dismissing any potential Yorkshire sites- it was not intentional.:o
