Mine was when i clicked the calender
i got loads of PORN come pop up so its a hack
STUNNED, WOW !
I think the consensus of opinion in this thread is that The Battle of Britain Hall at Hendon should not of been split up, a revamp of course but not this disposal to four points.
Do we need a poll on this? not sure how you set one up but could be worth doing here?
I wonder what happened to Sub Lt Blakes Spitfire windscreen I am sure that went missing years ago, any ideas?
The BoB Museum should have revamped the collection, yes by all means remove and rebuild but to break that lot up is still sacrilege to what that building was built for, cut the C7ap it could have been updated without this disposal to all points and yes Bruce wait and see, see what? its to late
Brilliant update again, well done all and a cracking good thread.
I was asked once if Pearl Harbor was a State, I replied it was after the Japanese left it !
Cheers Martin, oh yea Intrepid, and the Avenger was Tony Haig-Thomas mount IIRC
I am sure when I purchased that video, the ground crew ( is that you Martin?) told me the beginning at Duxford & ground shots were filmed a month after the end of the display flying at Blackpool, so it was shot back to front
Went back last week. The former BoB hall is fenced off and has lots of skips around it. It looks sad and forlorn. Apparently lots of the ancillary stuff ended up in those skips, mannequins, supporting displays. An enlightened museum would have offered these to other museums. Indeed the RAFM used to store such items and then, when cardington closed, offered them thru the BAPC to museums with less money.
The pendulum has swung….from the BoB beacon, which does not look so crazy now, to the wanton destruction of a national treasure.
I realise this will provoke some strong comments suggesting I am backward looking or just a cranky enthusiast who does not give the kids what they want. But it is sad and shows more dumbing down of history to fit the temporary and disposable world we live in where z list celebrities are kings and queens and real heroes, heroines and role models are forgotten.
You are so right Tony well said
is F-AZRO the ex Anthony Hutton one?
looks like I may now have to set up a face book
