Two P-51 at the Airforce Museum Hatzerim and one at the Tech Training school at Haifa.

And the answer to the second question ?????

English Heritage are the overseer’s of the scheme to list, and therefore protect, buildings and locations of significance. Note the words ‘locations’ because most airfield structures will be seen as ‘modern’ therefor will not be considered, however the events which once took place at the location may be considered the reason for listed status.

The quote below is from

and I suggest it would be your first port of call regarding the rules of what English Heritage would consider.

“For advice on how to get a building listed, or on listing in general, contact The Department of Culture, Media and Sport, 2-4 Cockspur Street, London SWI Y SDH.”

Hope this helps.

I think we would agree that all the airframes at Lasham require a secure home let hope that in the near future this will happen. The Aeropark / Long Marston thread is a shinning example of what can be achieved.

Thanks for link Glenn, lots of info there.

Can anybody confirm the appearance of the Demon at Sundays airshow ?

If they have to charge at all then to my mind the admission charge is the way to go at least then you pay to get in and can stay all day with nothing to worry about rather than paying for car parking and having to remember what time you have to go top up the parking ticket..

Although I dont agree with the any of the admission / parking charges at if we have to have one then car parking is the way to go. If they charge £5 all day car parking then thats it sorted. But if they charge person then you will have £5 per adult, then £3 per child and probalby another rate for OAP, disabled, carer, group rates, ect. So the family of four its going to add up, and if dad (the aircraft enthustiast) can’t afford to take the wife and kids he will not go himself and the children will not learn to enjoy aviation. I have often stopped at Cosford as a short detour from the M54 with the girlfriend and she is quite happy follow me around or use the cafe. However there have been times at Newark where she has remained in the car whilst I visited the museum because she was put off by even Newark’s modest entrance fee.

If the museum has to generate more income how about a small additional charge to visit the conservation centre, every day, not just on the odd week or access some otherwise ‘private’ part of the museum. An idea I have seen in the USA has been to charge for a guided tour, where a small group can be shown around the collection and given a small talk or slide show, not necessarily what us forumites would use but if presented right then it might generate a few quid.
