Reading that ‘plan’ through, there is constant reference to ‘digital technologies’. When I visited last September, there were broken displays with bits of paper stuck over them ‘out of order.’ The ATC display was screened off too. This is a problem with any video or sound display. The BofB Memorial at Capel en Ferne is impressive to see while still new but if it isn’t maintained it will soon look drab.

My ‘Sad RAF Museum’ thread stirred up a lot of ‘you were wrong’ comments but I had that feeling of a museum running down
even to closure. When you see an area being cleared and redecorated like there is a plan then it does at least promise something better. Perhaps they want to build a larger catering area that they can lease it to KFC or somebody. 😡

Could the pilot still be in it and the men are disarming the ejector seat? Hence the urgency?

When I was there they were looking at removing the Wellington’s wings to move it out of the hangar.
I expect there will be quite a few movements to empty that hangar!

I remember back in the early 90s entering via a ‘British Aerospace’ gate and driving down the edge of the runway. The VC10 was parked at the end so I stopped to photograph it and was told I ‘was in a secret area and to move on!’ by a security guard. As I said in a previous post Bill Body and the Brooklands Society managed to stop the destruction just in time.

I suppose that is the point of a major or ‘deep’ service? Look for problems before they get too bad. Rather an extra month or two grounded than loose her. That was a bit close last Summer, the week before the fire she had crossed the North Sea…..
