Hi Speedbird,
Quite interesting what you write about BA's reaction to New York because from what I can work out talking to a lot of the museums, they rarely see/speak to anyone from BA which is a shame really as I thought that they went to see them each year to check on them. In the case of at least one in the UK, no one had been there for 5 years until a year or so ago.
It will be interesting to see how G-BOAD is and I hope to be seeing her soon!
Best,
