    Thanks for the support & comments posted on this topic. Hopefully everyone will remember to drop the museum a short email as well as leaving their comments.
    Lancman, I’m beginning to like you 🙂

    Hang the technical & historical advisors! God what an awful prog 🙁 I saw about the last 15 minutes of it…
    1. For historical accuracy, the producers could have got hold of some of the reenactor groups in the UK & probably got away without even paying them! (reenactors tend to go to great lengths to get it right)
    2. What was that RAF uniform made out of? certainly wasn’t blue serge!
    3. F/Sgt? (NOT) and what was his crew position? no brevet!
    4. Captains hat…. ho ho ho ho
    5. ALL the Army types were dressed identically – I doubt it would have REALLY looked like that.
    6. Haircuts
    God need I go on??
    Dreadful 🙁

    BUT…

    Lancman,
    Whilst I agree, Hendon cannot easily move their exhibits outside, and probably have no intention of doing so either, and, probably similar can be said for Duxford (although they CAN move a/c outside if they really want to) I feel you may have missed the point a little…
    The Panton’s with NX611 are a fine example of what ‘could’ feasibly happen with NA337. She is indeed the prize exhibit, BUT, on nice days and special occasions, NX611 is rolled outside (and run up – which did not happen straight away) the same could be said for NA337, thus bringing the museum a considerable amount more dosh than they might at first imagine… What about those moody photo shots against a sunset, or the opportunity to rent NA337 out to television companies etc…
    If NA337 is buried behind four walls, the chances for her to EVER run engines regardless of availability is reduced to zero. Shortsighted to say the least, on the part of whoever proposed the idea in the first place.
    Over to you.
