Are you sure that charging admission is the best way? Flixton museum doesn’t charge and relies on donations and strange though it may seem the main reason is that there are less onerous rules and regulations to abide by this way.
As soon as you charge the public you let yourself in for a lot of bother from the insurance point of view for one, as though you were running some big business.

I must admit I always look nervously up at the hanger roof structure at Duxford and Hendon
[all that wood] and not a sprinkler system in sight.

If you need any Perspex cutting out Tony I have a Laser cutter at work.

Am I missing something here. If a wreck containing fluids is left on the sea bed inevitably, at some time in the future, the fluids will leak out when the tanks rot/corrode/rust through. When that happens no one would notice or care.
Alternatively if the wreck were to be recovered then surely measures can be taken to contain fuel or oil as part of the task.

Yes what you are missing here is that there are many people who ‘get off’
in stopping things happening so anything that helps their argument is all to their good.

Are these excavations done in a rush as they never seem like a ‘Time Team’
excavation? Perhaps they are under the constant threat of a desk bound twonk
trying to stop it?

Graham

Did you have permission from the owners/operators to reveal these images!

Graham

What interests me is what quantity of aircraft were ‘remanufactured’ where a new aircraft mark was built but utilised a previous airframe, there is a good picture which shows Mark 14 spits being built at a supermarine works but the fuselages all have old paint on with various different squadron codes and it doesn’t look like a repair facility, so it looks like a lot of previous marks were consumed into new aircraft.

Graham

No I don’t think so.
