Hi All
The problem most museums have with caring for there exibits is a mixture of two things money and having people to do the work. Most museums cant pay there staff and run on the good will of people. Take doncaster and elvington again, ive worked at both and elvington is a good place and atracts many people to work there but most of there time is spent moving around aircraft and looking after there live aircraft. (The victor team work as a sepeate group helping out the museum when needed). But doncaster is at the other end of the scale. Its a small museum site with a lot of restoration projects waiting in the wings its not as high profile as elvington and as such dosnt atract as many helpers. The small group of us at doncaster are doing as much as we can but everything has to wait it’s turn and its not just the aircraft that have to be looked after there is the day to day site running as well ( cutting the grass manning the shop decorating restoring the buildings on site) but we do what we can. I suspect this is the main reson that suderlands vulcan is in the condition it is.
So it time to get of your bums and go help out somewhere.
Rant over
