On my last few visits to the museum I have found that the museum was looking somewhat dated. The Beaver gate guard has some serious exfoliation and a nasty skin score . It really deserves better even if that involves an overseas sale with the money being ploughed into the internal exhibits. Internally a glaring omission
is an Auster Mk.1 which would illustrate the start of the AAC . The Auster MK.6 last time I noted was sans generator and windmill propeller -something that really could be addressed quite easily. Generally the museum needs to visit its collecting policy and see if it can be broadened slightly. A Piper L-4 would be a fine addition to the collection to illustrate a type used in mass numbers by our Allies and undoubtedly operated in the general area.
Looking at general feedback on the museum even from Army personnel reveals that the museum could try harder -I hope the new Chief Executive grasps the nettle.
