I’ve got nothing against being allowed to touch parts of restored planes that can be touched, having a tactile connection with the exhibits certainly enhances the experience for me and the best exhibits have always been the ones I have been allowed to get inside. However contact between people and delicate parts of aircraft should not be allowed, I’ve seen the damage done first hand. Contact with original paint work should never be allowed, the damage to flak bait is witness to this; it is interesting though to see how much people want to get contact with exhibits, it obviously adds to their experience in a museum, perhaps curators should try and allow this is a non damaging way.
