hmm good point
Pardon my ignorance, but who are the b@stard@s here, actually? The people who own this ‘museum’ and let it rot into oblivion, or the people who take pictures there? Is climbing over the fence, looking around (I know, I know, it’s not legal) and take pictures so that we can see what is is rotting there in the weeds worse than denying enthusiasts access to have a look in exchange for a small fee which can secure the maintenance for these aircraft? Won’t we all walk around there for a few hours and breathe the atmosphere this forgotten museum has? I would!
I understand from several forums and publications that the owner won’t let anyone come near the aircraft, just for playing the game ‘I’ve got something you want and you can’t have it because it’s mine’. I don’t understand that attitude. But I think the pictures are great. Just remember: take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footsteps.

when i first joined this forum, it was to find out more about the long marston collection. though my phonecall to one of the owners, didnt go quite as well as i had planned, i have actually met the chap who owns the meteor and the sea prince. and for matters that i am not going to go into, he did not want to do anything with these aircraft. they are his, lawfully as are all the rest of the aircraft in that compound the property of their owners. i for one am glad that at least for some short time they dont end up on the scrapheap, if indeed it seems that that is they way that they are going to go. i will be the first on site with a massive loan to buy every single one! i only wish i could do more to help, but i dont agree with people messing about with these aircraft, though being a teenager i fully understand the impulse to do so, as i have felt it many a time having been there to look at them quite often 🙁 the problem is that rarely do these people take just photographs, the lightning at binbrook is a prime example. a piece of her ended up on ebay not so long ago!
