I’d try to avoid a Hendon type display if possible. i.e. aircraft simply lined up behind barriers in an antiseptic way.
The American Air Museum is better than most in that you can mingle with the planes for a really close up view.
Having travelled around a number of museums with two young children, I know that the museums which catch their imagination are those that are more interactive. I think we tend to forget on this forum that a lot of people who visit Duxford know very little about the aircraft. If the aircraft can be displayed imaginatively, possibly in examples of wartime situations, it all helps educate visitors about the importance of the aircraft.
In short, make it interesting !
