If money and resources were unlimited it would be lovely to see most of the airliners at Duxford move to a “national airline museum” somewhere, with a core collection of British airliners kept under cover, perhaps leaving a few really significant types for the Airspace Hall (I’d leave it at Concorde, Viscount and Comet), and representing these types in said national museum with significant examples from elsewhere, say the Cosford or Wroughton Comet, East Fortune Viscount and the Heathrow Concorde.
Of course this will never happen, and the real trouble is that preserving these old machines will always be a slowly losing battle against the elements and time.
