    This would seem to apply to museums presently funded from public funds.
    Talking to someone at the British Museum recently, they are due to have
    funding cut by 40%.

    ML407 is now based at Sywell.

    How long has that been the case, it must be fairly recent ?

    Is the Yak permanently based at Duxford now, rather than Bentwaters ?
    The same with the Grace Spitfire ?

    I used to work with a chap (Mike Monson) who flew RAF Thunderbolts in Egypt and the Far East

    An old customer of mine used to fly Hurricanes and Thunderbolts, mainly in the Far East. His name was Pickard
    (difficult to forget that name).
    He trained in Canada, then went out to fly against the Japanese. He used to live in Billericay, then went out to
    live with one of his children in New Zealand or Australia.

    There are also aircraft you can sit in, depending on staff being available.

    I was at a meeting and dinner in London yesterday, where Stratton Richey was present.
    An extremely entertaining gentleman.

    If the situation is due in part from restrictions following the Shoreham accident, you have to wonder if
    any other operators of jet aircraft will be affected ?
