Michelf, I think its beyond doubt that I am right that Fort Paull is a historic site. However, while the aviation world has given it its physically largest exhibit, aviation itself is only a relatively small part of what the museum covers. And I really don’t see how they could justify changing the entire feel of the place to satisfy aviation enthusiasts. Doing so would lessen the appeal of the place to, for example, Napoleonic War enthusiasts. They have just as much right to enjoy the place as it should be. It’s a museum of military history through the ages that just happens to have a couple of aircraft at the end of the day. They’ll do what they can to preserve the aircraft for as long as they can, but we really can’t expect them to re-jig the whole place for one exhibit.
