Today is the 100th anniversary of the Alcock and Brown Transatlantic crossing.

The aircraft resides in the Science Museum at Kensington. What an incredible chance for a huge celebration , but what did Blatchford, the Director, and his team do to mark the occasion. Absolutely nothing as far as I know.

..... and what about a celebration , again with a huge potential fund raising, of the 75 th anniversary of the E28/39 flight at Cranwell in 1941. That aircraft, too, resides at Kensington. Again nothing.

I am utterly convinced that the present Science Museum management, so far as aviation is concerned are totally unfit for purpose.
