what im trying to suggest Scotavia is these museums emerg with new intensions but when the owners move on ,sell up etc the exhibits are stuck in some distant part of the country with a good possibility of staying there until they get scrapped if you had them all in one live airfield/museum they would support each other with constant visitors coming to see an ever changing live airfield like brunty or elvington no built up areas with room for both museum and live aircraft and a view of housing the nations treasured aircraft.

hi guys i keep on posting the same question on different forums but here goes again i was wondering what has happened to the shackleton at st.mawgan its gone rather quiet since the tender process and good luck with wr963 return to flight last time i saw it flying was at north weald but did,nt get a good photo cuz the misses needed the wc (thunderbox) at the time i stopped taking her to shows after that ,but she packs me a good lunch to go with as if shes glad to see the back of me.

This is great news but how come we had a perspex nose for a Halifax sitting in the uk when they have had to put an imitation one on the rebuilt one at elvington.
