Are there any recent reports on the progress of this unique restoration?

Do you happen to know when are the tanks going and what is to become of the tank hall?

Moggy

Why would they want to get rid of the Land Warfare Hall and it’s exhibits – surely Land Warfare is fundamental to the remit of the Imperial War Museum – or are there structural problems with the Land Warfare Hall?

Good to hear that some of the gaps might be addressed but the interwar period remains not very well represented.

Fury, Siskin and Gauntlet spring to mind although the opportunity for anything larger must be negligible

Always felt that Old Warden was a more appropriate home of the Hanriot anyway……

It would be good if they could pull together any remaining Siskin parts to do a similar job to that they have done on the Dolphin, which is truly stunning.

Perhaps some kind benefactor could fund the construction of another Snipe in New Zealand for the RAFM – after all the Snipe was the RAF’s first fighter.

Anybody else feel that the Camel should share space with it’s WW1 brethren, rather than hanging in the Millstone of Flight?

Sadsack -you can hardly tack on a upvc conservatory extension on the NWCM to house the Nimrod when he whole basis of the building was that it was groundbreaking!

Oh – I don’t know – it might actually add something…..

As for fibreglass -the IWM is a museum -the preservation of fibreglass aircraft doesnt achieve anything within its remit.

which is presumably why they have a glassfibre Mustang in the AAM…..
