Not really – it’s called ‘playing the game’ or ‘working with the system not against it!’ 😉

In fairness they (VAQAS) have also made some valuable suggestions that have encouraged us to look at the way we present our displays to a wider visitor base i.e. the general public; rather than to a slightly more restricted visitor base i.e. the aviation enthusiast.

In reality (perhaps I ought not to be saying this on an aviation forum) this is a good suggestion as there are far more members of the general public to be encouraged to visit the museum, than there are aviation enthusiasts. We’ve also been consulting with them, a bit like we tried on here last year. Some details are highlighted here that explain some of the fresh consultation that has been trialled for ‘non-users’.

We have a number of new ideas currently being evaluated and trialled as a result of the VAQAS & non-user suggestions. Ironically the aviation enthusiast might also find them interesting. 🙂

🙁 Sadly NAM took their 360 degree tours off their website thanks to the advice received in their VAQAS inspections as – “they made us feel dizzy!”

Fortunately the link is still here http://www.panoguide.com/gallery/554/ there’s also some information on the technique on the site. 🙂

You have to wonder what the thinking was behind setting-up a museum there in the first place if there was always the possibility that they’d be thrown-out at some stage in the future..

😮 I’m sorry but even I’m almost lost for words with that turn around!! 😮

However, once again “I hope that the Boscombe Down group is able to resolve its problems!”

IIRC set up by the last ‘lot’ – enjoy! :rolleyes: http://www.voa.gov.uk/
