I only caught a bit of it on Sky news, but wasn’t there a Rhino shot as well, or was that another story?.

Lincoln .7

I think that was an older picture ?

This individual seems to have made it his life’s ambition to kill as much wildlife as possible.
Must be some “macho” thing ?
I would guess his career as a dentist in his home town, will come to an abrupt end.
Which unfortunately will also impact on those working for, or with him.

Of course, he is not the only one. http://heavy.com/news/2014/07/kendall-jones-texas-hunter-cheerleader-facebook-photos-conservation/

So does that mean this latest “find” could be a publicity stunt ?

I wonder why they showed so little of the underwater footage ?

After that sensible negociation should take place for her to go to the only viable location for her in the U.K – Elvington.

Has anyone asked the people at Elvington what they think ?
Do they have a spare hangar ?

I also recall that the waters of the Baltic have an uncanny ability to preserve shipwrecks.

Not to the extent surely, where a WWI wreck would have no marine growth on it whatsoever ?

Hmm… the ‘Beeb’ has a quote suggesting that it’s a sub from 1916. If the sky image is accurate it looks a mite more recent than that. No encrustations or decay to be seen.

Those were my thoughts, it looks fairly modern. Even taking into account where it was found.

With due respect Alan I think that while the points you raised are valid they don’t address the point of pricing people out of visiting. If you live close to Duxford then a pass is good value. I don’t for example so if I wish to visit it is a considerable amount of travel expenditure and then full price tickets as it is unlikely I’ll be able to make another trip. These memberships only work if you are reasonably local or wealthy enough to travel back and forth.

Both my wife and I are retired and don’t have big pensions. We are 60 miles from Duxford, and after making three
trips last year, thought the 12 month pass was worth getting this year. Yes, if you live a couple of hours or more
away, it can still get to be an expensive day out, once you have eaten etc.

As far as the CADW membership is concerned, I don’t think we used it at all last year, as we haven’t been away for a while.
There aren’t too many of their properties around here either. The nearest being Audley end. We have just renewed
it though.

A lot of museums do free entry for those living in the local town or city.
Some let you return for free within 12months. (Such as the Buck House visits)
With the annual pass at Duxford, if my wife and I go three times, it’s only cost us £5.90 each per visit.

We also belong to CADW, the Welsh equivalent of English Heritage (and cheaper). £42 per year to allow us
free entry into EH properties. It’s all down to personal choice

Museums have to strike a balance. Charge and lose their subsidies. Allow free entry and hope the subsidies
cover their costs.
