Probably not helped by the museum management having made their team of aircraft technicians redundant during the summer.

” I read recently that there is dismay in Denmark that the airframe which they donated, has been so neglected.”

 

Sounds like a concoction. Sad to see but I doubt anyone’s getting too hot under the collar about it.

It is not a Twin Pioneer.  If you have to guess, perhaps you could phrase it as a question.

It is disgraceful that the Cosford Catalina has been left to the elements for so long, seven years now !

”In September the Consolidated PBY-6A Catalina was moved out of the War in the Air hangar and placed on temporary external display at the entrance to the History of the RAF.”     RAF Cosford literature – 2016

 I read recently that there is dismay in Denmark that the airframe which they donated, has been so neglected. There is a sentiment circulating to try to reclaim it, and I can’t say I blame them.

I strongly suspect this is the Cosford Catalina castoff
