I think its more that people who look after museums and artifacts, think of preservation, and in terms of aircraft, that likely conflicts with actually flying them.

Having them hanging from wires etc. in the hangars and halls is one thing, flying them is another matter, and I bet most of the IWM staff would be more than happy to see Duxford stop being an active airfield...and become just a static museum site.
