The sad, but simple truth is that most people in the UK just aren't that interested in aircraft, only will it get them to their chosen destination safely and comfortably. Museums are for the afflicted and there's just not enough of us. Even well visited museums struggle to keep external exhibits in good nick over the years. In light of the situation at Newquay, I'd just be happy that any of the larger exhibits will find new homes elsewhere, even if it means incomplete airframes such as with the 1-11.
