Hi there, the photos that are gradually being taken down were from the 2012 event, it’s not really a space issue but more to do with reduced usage / viewing; plus a lot of fresh images coming along for the museum’s 40th Anniversary Gala and the Lightning event.
The museum carefully monitors its webstats and the peak in viewing of the Cockpit-Fest albums was in the 6 weeks after this year’s event; and then in the run up to Cockpit-Fest USA. Since the beginning of December their traffic has been greatly reduced – so a freshening up was felt to be appropriate. 🙂
Once things get more into Cockpit-Fest mode no doubt more images will go back online. Yesterday, whilst looking for some Dove / Heron material I came across some of my own images that haven’t been posted from previous Cockpit-Fest’s so hopefully they will find their way into the system.
The museum is also trialling some digital photo-frames around the site, which will help raise awareness of all our events – fingers crossed they will eventually include a Cockpit-Fest set. They’re just getting ready to try this with around 300 Lightning scans, which look absolutely fantastic and have been sent over by a noted aviation photographer!
