A good starting point is to ensure that the museum you make a loan to is a ‘Registered’ or ‘Accredited’ Museum with the MLA. Details on this link including a list of those already part of, or applying for the scheme.

As a minimum these organisations will issue you with paperwork setting out the agreed terms when you make a loan.

Certainly not at Winthorpe – many happy ‘hours’ with a pneumatic drill to put in ‘few’ fence posts; if only the concrete had been 6 inches thick!

The specs for the recently built culvert between the sites and the floor of Hangar 2 were significantly greater than 6 inches of poured concrete!

As has been posted before, if you scroll down here you’ll find details of where some bits ended up!
