The end of Flying Legends effectively, may also be a factor that move as well.
What gets the masses to visit Duxford, as anyone who's lived nearby and sat in the traffic jams will testify, is an airshow on a sunny weekend.

I agree with Muddy Paws that some local museums can be really interesting. One such is the town museum in Ricmond,Yorkshire which has no aviation content but is a gem of it's kind. When I congratulated one of the young musum attendants on the clarity of the "data boards", she informed me that current thinking is that interest will only be maintained if it's a fairly large font and has no more than 180 words. Just a thought about modern practice in museums.

Exactly - the pressure to find new land for building near Cambridge is unbelievable. There are herds of councillors, research companies, investors, builders, locals who would develop it in a second given the chance

Every scrap of land within the parish was offered. Wonder why?
