Allan,
Our museum is not that big, so it’s not too difficult for our volunteers to keep an eye on our visitors. Anyone producing a camera or notebook will soon be spotted.
If our not allowing unrestricted photography means that some people don’t visit our museum, then that is the price that we have to pay. It’s a shame that people chose not to visit a museum because they can’t take photos, as they are depriving themselves of a good day out. Personally I would not avoid a museum for that reason, but if they want to do so it’s their choice, and their loss.
Geoff.
Geoff Thanks for your comments.
No disrespect to your Museum, (I must come and see you soon) yours is the type of museum that I may not necessary want to take a camera too.
Hawkinge has some aircraft (although plastic) that have history. My am interested in complete or recognisable aircraft. I would not take pictures of bits of wreckage, medals, uniforms or ‘stealable items’ That is not to say that I am not intersted in that sort of stuff.
And as for the signs outside Hawkinge they list all types of camera’s even ‘recordable equipment’ no exceptions. That is inside or the three Hurricanes outside…
