In some respects, I have a poor opinion of the RAF Museum, certainly the one at Hendon - or at least of some of their representatives. They used to have an animated illustration on their website to show how an aeroplane's controls work - with the ailerons operating arse-about-face! Very offhand attitude when I drew this to their attention. Eventually, instead of getting it corrected, they just removed it. They used to dish out flyers at the museum with line drawing illustrations on the front of a Hurricane and a Spitfire - with the colours of the British military fin flash reversed! Again, drew it to their attention but they didn't see it as an embarrassing blunder - couldn't be bothered to withdraw it and hold someone accountable because they had already printed so many.
