sad to say

The reason fires in collections dont hit big news because unlike a airshow crash they are not normally such a shocking or gory thing as a plane crash,modern news runs on shock horror violence and alike so they enjoy it and it sells.Every large colection is at risk from fire more than crashes.

would say

Legends but saw firefly crash so its hard to say that Biggin Hill was entertaining this year and Eastbourne was fun Highlight is for me the La9 and every brietling show i saw then 4 times the 3spitfire and corsair at Biggin a particular fav,its nice to see that both aircraft restoration and fighter collection helped them when they were aircraft down.Twlight tear made a great sub for ofmcs own p51 at dx autumn show.

the problem with most musuems is

the collection maybe great but it does little to involve the visitor,as a kid i hated such trips but did intrest me seeing planes hung as i did models and saw as it as big boys version 😀 ,to make it work i think need give info on aircraft show video footage and get some interaction.most of duxford works because you can see aircraft fly there amoung the statics hendon for me had some great aircraft but no vision and was too dark cramped etc as others mention,lets make musuems less dust gathering places more places people enjoy and learn
so conclusion make it informative bright not too cramped
