The main draw to Duxford for e at least has always been the variety of period air worthy historic aircraft. Giving some of them notice to quit, allegedly, will only further neuter future flying days and the aurora of the place. A stuffy old museum then of static, dusty aircraft and a few of the museum's own aircraft maintained in flying condition?
The re vamped play area is an overblown expensive cut de sac. Important as play areas are in the right setting, IWM is a serious place, it records what ordinary people have to do heroically because of elitists who think they know better. Making it into Duxfordland will send all the wrong messages.
The proposed green flight development is laudable, if not a seeming extension of CU, but it is not what the IWM is about, at least as far as I am concerned.
Make the most of the curtailed and diminished Airshow experiences while you can.
Right glad that's out of the way on with some photo's
