I visited the science museum at Kensington a few years back. I was so disappointed that the aero exhibits were so disjointed. The new areas on the ends appear to have lots of space dedicated to nothing.
I know Peter Davison quite well through Air Britain and the Airship Heritage Trust. He is still very bitter over how he was made redundant as the curator of Aero at Kensington. I understand he does or did a bit of freelance work for Beetham Collection.
I have only visited Wroughton once back in 1983. Was undertaking a bit of design work on the Allouette 2 (new radio) the hangar we were working in had lots of cocooned helicopters of all varieties along with the Argentine spoils of war, Chinook and the 109s I worked on a while after that.

The nurses from the hospital did occasionally get bussed over to the mess at Brize. Unfortunately the ones I was left with reminded me of the difference between a WAAF and a walrus.
