It wasn't her that made the Tweet mentioned in earlier posts.
The Tweet was made by IWM Duxford Curator Emily Charles (and from her personal Twitter account, not official IWM one) but your summation is equally applicable, even though she has pretty much worked at Duxford for nearly 10 years in various roles, as well as nearly a year at the National Army Museum, and a short spell at Bletchley Park, so you would think she'd know better......
