Understanding the genocide of 6 million people and ensuring that young people realise that this happened in the recent past and close to home (and still does) is surely not bonkers.

Id rather students learn about that the Battle of Britain.

Fabulous museum. I’ve always had a fondness for smaller collections based on a company or local area. It seems this museum has quite a focused collection policy and not over stretched themselves like some museums that have gone quantity over quality. Personally if rather see five fabulously restored aircraft than a line up if ten sad looking Cold War jets.

That’s what comes of only teaching kids politically-correct history in schools!

That’s bonkers. It makes no sense. Even if you did teach thorough world war 1/2 history then Bomber Command would still only be a fraction of what was taught. What do you expect schools to teach? There’s not time for everything!

You must remember that the fundamentals of journalism, whatever the medium, include:

– never let the facts get in the way of a good story
– it’s easier and cheaper to rework existing news that to go out and find something new

Most journalists are pathologically lazy. Most of their employers are pathologically parsimonious.

That’s just wild stereotyping and I wonder what you base it on. Cliches as old as time itself by the sounds of it. I would counter that being a journalist requires a certain amount of drive.

Will there be any flypasts at this event?

Just a thought but if enough people write a letter to TFT expressing their dismay with Chabbert or people talking over the aircraft then perhaps they might consider those comments. More productive then this surely?

An incredible project and what progress! Always a pleasure to read the newsletter.
