There is no need to answer or rebut each complaint or comment here. Ashley has asked for our comments to take away and that we are giving. I was under the impression that a debate wasnt needed just simple opinions that you and the team could then go away and work with.

I can see that some comments may get under yor skin or that you cant resist answering them, but in my experiance, the more debate there is on a thread like this, the more diluted it gets and the less people are inclined to answer the original question.

I can see your point that you wish to put peoples misaprehensions right, but in this case it isnt necessary.

Maybe the misguided views will help with your understanding of your visitors needs and wants.

Just a thought.

My apologies, please do carry on.

Duxford – Have Your Say – ANSWERS

THE QUESTIONS:

1) WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT DX?

The atmosphere, the smells, the noise, the echos in the hangars, spanners being dropped, the odd air tool screeming, the sound of a far off Merlin, sitting on the back bumper of the car at 6 in the morning in the early morning sun.

2) WHAT DO YOU MOST DISLIKE ABOUT DX?

Rotting airframes, AAM this should have been built further back and it is far to modern, every one thinks it a new concept, a new design, its not!!! watch “The Italian Job” film, 3 minis drive over a building like the AAM, that was back in 1967/8 I think. The inland warfare museum, that needed building further back aswell. Instead of having all these so called ModCon buildings why an earth did you not replace the wartime hangar that was blown up in “The Battle Of Britain” film, with a near on replica.OH and Ice cream vans running their compressors right next to hthe crowd line

3)WHAT MAKES YOU RETURN TO DX? (WHEN TIME AND DISTANCE ALLOWS OF COURSE!)

Airshows are the main reason for my return, but Hey!, things are getting rather expensive, I live in Derby and with a Car and Caravan £60.00 of gas 4 nights caravan site, 2 days of airshows and some beer and its goodbye to nearly £400.00, maybe you could let me have some cheap AVGAS, my car has a blower on it

4) WHAT DO WE GET RIGHT AT DX?

The staff are usually friendly, the aircrews and volunteers always. The food wagon people are ignorant and there are to many wise boy cockneys for my liking

5)WHAT DO WE GET WRONG?

The AAM, The Ground Warfare Museum, and not to far in the future, The Air and Space Museum.

6) WHAT CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MADE AT DX?

Everyone seems to get to DX on show days earlier and earlier and we all que up in rows, open the pay sheds up as early as possible and get people in and parked up, there is a mad rush to park-up, wheels spinning, fists clenched, V signs every where. heated tempers. And as someone else has already said move those BLOODY tannoy speakers and poles. Move the camper vans further back, they do not need to be on the front row as most people who own them climb on their roofs anyway, pig ignorant. Ban the BLOODY tents on the crowd line aswell, some people are taking up 15 to 25 square feet of space up with encampments and to top it off they put massive umbrellas up aswell. And then you get MR STEPPLADDER MAN, Oh I love these, A six foot step ladder and some 6 foot gormless bloke stood on top of it with 38 cameras round his neck. I have taken a step ladder on occasions but i don’t go on the crowd line I go behind my car and if someone else is either behind and/or to the left of me I throw my ladder under the car, I must be to civilised and considerate, its a pity other people are not. Beleive me, you will get a punch up there one day. I emailed to two famous monthly magazines a few years ago about take offs and landings, I thought it would have been a good idea to rent a small part of the field on the oppisite side of the M11, as a sort of run off area I emailed this before BLACK 6 had its miss-hap, if my idea had been put in place, black six would never have turned over. At the other end of the airfield there is a dust track just outside the perimeter fence
with a row of very tall trees(you all know where I mean) It needs150/200 feet of trees removing, I used to go down that track once upon a time, and some planes got very close to the top of them. If any one of those planes engines faultered in any way, either in taking off or in landing configeration, well its curtains, and as long as god makes little apples it will happen (I hope not though)

7) SHOULD WE PUT ON MORE AIRSHOWS? OR FEWER? QUANTITY OR QUALITY – FOR EXAMPLE HAVE FEWR AIRSHOWS WITH LONGER DISPLAYS?

Keep them as they are, people only have a certain amount of money to spend each year and yes it is a dear hobbie.

8) IF SOMETIMES YOU ARE ACCOMPANIED TO DUXFORD BY FAMILY OR FRIENDS WHO ARE NOT PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN AIRCRAFT, DO THEY LEAVE FEELING THEY HAVE AT LEAST HAD AN INTERESTING DAY OUT, OR DO THEY THINK THAT DX IS FOR ENTHUSIASTS ONLY?

Anybody visiting DX for the first time either on display days or not will have a super time

9) HOW DO YOU RATE THE CATERING OUTLETS AT DX? EXPENSIVE OR GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY? ENOUGH VARIETY?

Far to expensive, think of a family of 4 on Legends day, £70.00 to get in and then another 11 hours walking round £18.00 for a breakfast and drinks for the rest of the day. £60.00 for 2 aircraft kits, bla,bla,bla………..

As for the chip,burger,bacon and beer vans and tents I hope they all go bankrupt, crap meat, crap bread, crap tea and dirty finger nailed sweaty people and then they charge you £3.50 for a bacon cob after they have wiped sweat off their forhead with their hand, lovely!!!!!!!!!!!

10) WHO DO YOU RATE THE MUSEUM SHOP? IS IT WELL STOCKED FOR ENTHUSIASTS WITH SOMETHING NEW TO CATCH YOUR INTEREST EACH TIME YOU VISIT? WHAT IN YOUR OPINION COULD WE SELL THAT WE DON’T ALREADY?

The shop is to modern just like all the other new buildings, your loosing it somewhere, You could have put up 3 new nissan huts for the price of that new shop one of them could have been set up as a bar and cinema with hanging fans and all that stuff, half way through a film you could have had an air raid and a black out, I do not think any of the management or developers have any idea what people want, you just think modern, modern, modern, to me its all bull**** with not a hint of thought or disccussions.

I still like DX and I hope my views are not to critical but eye openers

Just a thought.

Having never been to Duxford unless when I was a small bairn when I was living in the uk and only going by what I have read or seen on the internet, it looks like a definate “must see” when visiting the UK.

Now for the improvements. If only something can be done to better preserve the Victor and Shackelton both of which in my mind are benchmark airframes with the Victor being the only surviving aircraft in a Bomber command paint scheme. It wouldn’t take much for a couple of weekends of TLC to make them look more presentable. I wonder what difference it would make if they were American aircraft? Would they have ben neglected for so long or would they be spit and polished and housed indoors by now?

The perceived bias towards American airframes at DX simply doesn’t exist in my opinion. Obviously when the AAM was being set up and then redisplayed, that where the resources went, and yes, had there been US aircraft sitting outside they may well have received attention. Hence “American Air Museum”. Though this was a period of several years, it hardly constitutes an institutional bias against British aircraft. Now we are working on the history of British aviation i.e. AirSpace, our British airframes are receiving the attention. Though not part of the core AirSpace collection, the Victor, the Shackleton and others will receive covered space where they will be stabilised as far as possible.

)”…lack of knowledge in some of the museum staff….lack of knowledgeable staff…also staff are poor – I asked about a book on the Mustang and they said they had never heard of such a plane.”
Jason

But were they able to track down a suitable book? If so a lack of aviation general knowledge really has no bearing on the job they’re there to do. I’m sure you weren’t implying that staff in general lack knowledge however, as that could not be further from the truth. Our museum assistants would be able to answer most of your questions. Failing that they would set up an enquiry for you with Interpretation and Collections. All this said, various shop-based and other staff that are not required to do so, do have a great deal of knowledge of the site and of the topics at large.

1) What do you like most about Duxford?

The flying, the variety of exhibits and the chance that you will normally see something new. I am always very impressed with the quality of presentation in the Land Warfare Hall, the displays give a good context without distracting from the exhibits themselves. …..oh yes and ‘Legends….

The operators/restorers of the privately owned aircraft are also very accesible and helpful. For instance, in reply to a request for help with my University research project, I was treated to a full tour of the interior of the Catalina while it was ‘wintering’ under maintainence in the Superhangar. Thesegroups need to be given every help and encouragement from the IWM, although I suspect this is happily already the case!

2) What do you dislike most about Duxford?

Hard to pick out faults, so I wont! (Although I will add any little complaint I come up with later if I can think of one…)

3) What makes you return to Duxford? (When time and distance allows of course!)

Usually the shows, or to catch up with a restoration project.

4) What do we get right at Duxford?

Sympathetic use of the old hangars, and adventurous design with the new ones, I actually enjoy the contrast. After all, if Duxford remained a preserved Battle of Britain fighter station without any significant changes it could not serve half of the functions it does today.

So, going against what most have said, I think the architecture of Duxford has grown in an appropriate manner for its use (and everybody that moans about triangular/woodlouse shaped hangars ought to be pleased with the new, classically rectangular ‘Airspace’ which I can’t wait to see!)

5) What do we get wrong?

Not much, could more use be made of the buildings over the other side of the road maybe, as a display space/visitor attraction?

6) What changes or improvements would you like to see made at Duxford?

OK, this one is a bit of a selfish one aimed at making my job easier:

How about some kind of dedicated meeting place/minibus terminal for passengers flying in and out of Duxford on airshow days, rather than having to round up thirty people and get them through the same hut that the other private flyers use? Could Air Atlantique/Dutch Dakota Assoc. passengers not use the classic wings entrance, onto an aircraft already parked near the flightline, rather than having to be bussed to the far side of the airfield?

7) Should we put on more airshows? Or fewer? Quantity or quality – for example have fewer airshows with longer displays?

I think the number is about right, although I doubt many people here would object to having Flying Legends twice a year! Maybe keep the traditional Flying Legends and have another similar show the follows a similar format but concentrates on classic jets, just an idea…. swap the usual Spitfire tailchase for Hunters, that sort of thing.. !

On the subject of longer displays, probably not a great plan, there needs to be time for a good look around the museum in the morning before the flying kicks off.

8) If sometimes you are accompanied to Duxford by family or friends who are not particularly interested in aircraft, do they leave feeling they have at least had an interesting day out, or do they think that Duxford is for enthusiasts only?

Anybody who I have taken to Duxford with a vague interest in aircraft has left with a much stronger one, that about sums it up….

My sister really enjoys Flying Legends (and was also very impressed with the microlight/geese act a few years ago), and enjoys Duxford’s link to various movies….

..which got me thinking, film work has played such an important part in Duxford’s ‘modern’ history that it could surely be highlighted in some kind of exhibit. At first when this crossed my mind I thought it could be seen as a little irrelevant compared to the actual conflicts many exhibits represent, but when you think of how much movies have shaped the Duxford we know today, it would seem appropriate and not too disrespectful.

My girlfriend was impressed with the vartiey of archtecture, taking lots of pictures of the AAM, and found the battle of Britain exhibit very interesting.

9) How do you rate the catering outlets at Duxford? Expensive or good value for money? Enough variety?

Not too bad, I was actually quite impressed with the sausages in the cafe behind the Pucara and Sabre when I was there in the winter. Fairly pricey but, to be honest, could have been worse!

10) How do you rate the Museum shop? Is it well stocked for enthusiasts with something new to catch your interest each time you visit? What in your opinion could we sell that we don’t already?

I reckon it probably strikes a good balance between catering for the enthusiast and the general visitor, although the shops at Hendon/Cosford probably cater better for ‘our’ market.

It helped me out no end last winter looking for a Christmas present for my Gran, who I normally end up buying tedious grandmotherish presents for, but I found a fantasitc WAAF china mug for a very reasonable price that she was over the moon with, so thanks IWM shop!

Other things to sell…. how about vouchers for flights into Duxford, for future visits, I’m sure something could be arranged.

) What do you like most about Duxford?

Superb variety of aircraft, the fact that the collection changes regularly and the fact it is a flying museum.

2) What do you dislike most about Duxford?

Aircraft rotting outside, especially annoying for recently restored examples such as thehastings. Poor catering, high admission prices & lack of knowledge in some of the museum staff.

3) What makes you return to Duxford? (When time and distance allows of course!)

The fact that the collection changes and we can see the warbirds flying and see restorations in progress.

4) What do we get right at Duxford?

Friends of Duxford, allowing the public to see the aircraft fly, allowing children free entry as we need a new generation of enthusiasts.

5) What do we get wrong?

Too many aircraft outside, lack of knowledgeable staff, not enough is made of the airfields historical past with relevant exhibits showing what parts of the airfield would have looked like in the past.

6) What changes or improvements would you like to see made at Duxford?

Better catering, improved shop with better trained staff, more exhibits showing the history of the airfield.

7) Should we put on more airshows? Or fewer? Quantity or quality – for example have fewer airshows with longer displays?

Not much wrong with current line-up of airshows.

8) If sometimes you are accompanied to Duxford by family or friends who are not particularly interested in aircraft, do they leave feeling they have at least had an interesting day out, or do they think that Duxford is for enthusiasts only?

Most people love it but the catering and high admission price put people off from returning. There could be alot more done in terms of giving more details of the aircraft and explaining its role – only the B-24 does this adequately.

9) How do you rate the catering outlets at Duxford? Expensive or good value for money? Enough variety?

Very poor and too expensive.

10) How do you rate the Museum shop? Is it well stocked for enthusiasts with something new to catch your interest each time you visit? What in your opinion could we sell that we don’t already?

Some improvement but aimed too much at the casual visitor, shops are poor for the real enthusiast, also staff are poor – I asked about a book on the Mustang and they said they had never heard of such a plane.

Could stock – aviation art, more books, rc model shop, more aviation clothing.

Hope this helps

Jason

The questions:

1) What do you like most about Duxford?

Its a great collection of aircraft.

2) What do you dislike most about Duxford?

That flippin platform in front of the B-29!

3) What makes you return to Duxford? (When time and distance allows of course!)

Restorations

4) What do we get right at Duxford?

A great loyallty scheme in FOD

5) What do we get wrong?

Not a great deal

6) What changes or improvements would you like to see made at Duxford?

More museum items put out into daylight for a few airshows (There were a few last year, and it was great!)

7) Should we put on more airshows? Or fewer? Quantity or quality – for example have fewer airshows with longer displays?

I think there is a good level at the current time

8) If sometimes you are accompanied to Duxford by family or friends who are not particularly interested in aircraft, do they leave feeling they have at least had an interesting day out, or do they think that Duxford is for enthusiasts only?

Just had my Nieces to stay (9 and 12 yrs old), they loved it!

9) How do you rate the catering outlets at Duxford? Expensive or good value for money? Enough variety?

Need a better range of pre packed, for those of us who can’t sit down in case we miss something!

10) How do you rate the Museum shop? Is it well stocked for enthusiasts with something new to catch your interest each time you visit? What in your opinion could we sell that we don’t already?

Its a lot better now.

I know there’s little chance but I’d like to see a ‘Russian hangar’ where all the Soviet stuff can be placed. How about a Bear/Badger display? Or a row of Mig 15/17/19/21/23/25/29? Or a few Su? Got to remember ‘the other side’ too! (remember the binning of Ex-Luftwaffe machines post war and all the missed opportunities for preservation.) I know there are a few ex-Sov airframes at Duxford but I’d like more

Hi,

I have been waiting for an opportunity to add some random suggestions to the Dx experience, but overall I think it is a wonderful place!

Tiered seating at air shows – it would help my naff photography if I didn’t have to try to shoot around heads as the planes taxi past/take off/land!

A web-cam of airfield activity – set to watch the apron or the airstrip if it were a live camera. This would be really cool – visiting from the comfort of my desktop!

Some way of informing us about airfield ‘movements’. I understand that if we are notified about practice air displays it might cause some complications, but how about general aircraft movements?

And, if you can find a way to set the fire alarms off in the conference centre when there are aircaft up, I would appreciate it. There is nothing more frustrating that having to sit through a boring committee meeting whilst listening to Merlins overhead and not being able to see them!!!

Keep up the good work!

DS

Duxford is very much ‘live’, but IWM Duxford is a National Museum, and an Accredited one at that. The respective operators (notably TFC) use words like ‘collection’ in their title, because, well, they are! The distinction isn’t often made but is important in terms of what flies and what standards of restoration/conservation are employed due to the public responsibility, ethics and museum theory/practice that IWM have to (and want to!) adhere to.

We already have our Firefly on loan to Yeovilton and our Sea Harrier with Flixton, but I personally would rather we work on interpretation for the Navy stuff rather than hand it all over to a dedicated museum.

The Pucara we have most of the bits for in store, and we still plan to restore it as the old chestnuts of time and resources allow. We are also assessing action to be taken in future with the other airframes you mention that don’t quite fit the collecting policy.

Trust me, complacency is not an issue here at the moment!

As other people have commented, as Duxford is “live” perhaps Museum is confusing to the public (dry, dusty, static). Perhaps Collection might be a better description? When the hangars get sorted I’d like to see the aircraft grouped in a more meaningful way. There’s the basis of a good NATO/Cold War collection i.e Mystere, Draken, Sabre, Hunter and Mig. I’m also confused about the Navy fighters which seem to be poor relations. As Yeovilton is so good why don’t you rationalise what you have with them? As to the ongoing debate about the AAM, well it is a fine bit of engineering and has won many awards so it can’t be all that bad. It also houses some very worthwhile airframes even if it is crowded. One final point, can’t something be done with the Pucara? They’ve managed it at Cosford. The bottom line is of course that the whole site is irreplaceable but that shouldn’t lead to complacency.

To quote Dr. Evil…”Throw me a frickin’ bone here“.

My suggestion would be a relatively low cost way of giving the AAM some “breathing room” and by adding atmosphere doing something a bit different than just having static planes.

As I said it was just an attempt to get some pedant points, all suggestions should be aired here as Dux are watching.

My only problem with your thought is that if they put up said building I’d much, much rather they used it for the corroding hulks rather than to hoik the currently well-homed heavies out of the AAM.

I too think the BoB thing at Hendon is a high spot 🙂

Moggy

Most of the things I would say have been covered previously – ie very expensive on airshow days, shows esp Legends very similar from year to year, food dodgy & expensive. old shop expensive. Having been involved with an aircraft that was based there, the attitude of some and only some (some were great but it is always the unpleasent ones that are remembered) of the people there were downright rude and unhelpful and has done nothing to make me want to visit again.

it would be great if we could be advised of anticipated informal displays, such as those that occur when pilots of Duxford aircraft are obtaining display authorisation

If they did that an informal diaplay would become a formal one, CAA would have to be notified, fees are payable insurance goes up etc etc. Much better for it to be a surprise.

Sorry, not trying to turn this into a debate.

1) What do you like most about Duxford?

There’s an awful lot to be proud of but, if I am asked to single out one aspect, it has to be the maintenance of the extensive TFC collection in Hangar 2. To have that many “live” historic aircraft (plus the restoration/maintenance projects) on public display is remarkable. It may sound odd but they smell right, unlike the museum pieces. It is difficult to believe that the public is allowed so much access to a private collection.

2) What do you dislike most about Duxford?

There’s very little to dislike. I suspect that the entrance fees are a challenge for some one-off visitors but, as a a local enthusiast who is a FoD, I receive real value for money.

3) What makes you return to Duxford? (When time and distance allows of course!)

My son, who is four years old and loves the place. Hangar 2 and the ever-present prospect of seeing vintage aircraft in the air.

4) What do we get right at Duxford?

Most things. The staff and volunteers are enthusiastic and helpful. The range of exhibits is breathtaking. The airfield is alive. It has history and soul.

5) What do we get wrong?

Not much. The catering is very average, however, and compares poorly to the new facilities at the Shuttleworth collection. That said, my son is very pleased with the range of ice cream.

I am not sure if the museum has any influence over FoD but, if it does, could I put in a plea for more events to be held at weekends so that those of us who work do not have to take holiday to join in.

6) What changes or improvements would you like to see made at Duxford?

Better catering, particularly at air displays.

Any way of providing local visitors with information about anticipated activity by airworthy historic planes would be a real plus. Last weekend I found myself, not for the first time, burning rubber to get to the airfield in the hope of seeing a practice display having caught Charlie Brown in BM597 beating up the field between Duxford and Thriplow and figuring that it would only be a matter of time before he put on a display at the airfield itself. I was not disappointed.

7) Should we put on more airshows? Or fewer? Quantity or quality – for example have fewer airshows with longer displays?

I think it is about the right number. As I said though, it would be great if we could be advised of anticipated informal displays, such as those that occur when pilots of Duxford aircraft are obtaining display authorisation – I caught this by accident last April and enjoyed a hugely impressive display, particularly by Charlie Brown in BM597 (again). I was also lucky enough to see a number of practice displays by Alister Kay in Ferocious Frankie later in the season, which were both exciting and immaculately executed.

8) If sometimes you are accompanied to Duxford by family or friends who are not particularly interested in aircraft, do they leave feeling they have at least had an interesting day out, or do they think that Duxford is for enthusiasts only?

I have only ever received positive feedback. The children’s play area and constant activity on the field in all but the very worst weather helps!

9) How do you rate the catering outlets at Duxford? Expensive or good value for money? Enough variety?

Very average with much room for improvement. I think that there are enough outlets, its the quality of the offering that could be improved.

10) How do you rate the Museum shop? Is it well stocked for enthusiasts with something new to catch your interest each time you visit? What in your opinion could we sell that we don’t already?

I disagree with some of the other comments on this thread as I think that the new shop is a vast improvement and offers an excellent range of gifts. I’ve bought a number of books and DVDs in the last few months, including Sigh for a Merlin, Spitfire a Test Pilot’s Story, and the DVDs for Legends 2004 and Band of Brothers.

Woody

What it wouldn’t do, of course, is to replicate any typical 8th AF scene.

The aircraft lived out and were serviced in the open. It would be very rare for anything close to an intact aircraft to be in a hangar.

Do I get a pedant prize?

Moggy

As I wrote that I knew that most maintenace was done out of doors….pity the poor ground crews…but I’m guessing some was done indoors…somewhere.
To quote Dr. Evil…”Throw me a frickin’ bone here“.
My suggestion would be a relatively low cost way of giving the AAM some “breathing room” and by adding atmosphere doing something a bit different than just having static planes.
I’ve always been impressed with the BoB Experience at Hendon…I think that’s what it’s called.
