Ah yes point taken, Phantom, I hadnt thought of that bit. Ok small museums like yours & mine have the advantage of bodies outnumbering airframes so when we open the hatches we can supervise, so Cosford or Dux would have a serious problem and also the “Undesirable” element would then be able to help themselves to anything they could get into their pockets. I heard a story at Gatwick that a cockpit was opened unsupervised and when it was closed up someone had pinched some instruments. However I certainly plan to open 773 up for visitors to see whats going on through the hatch, but until Ive got the cockpit cleaned dry & repainted (my nav seat presently has a “bum washer” puddle) I wont let anyone in, besides I get filthy enough in it.
