I was there last year with a mate and we were wondering how they kept them clean. Standing on the top deck in that hangar you could see that the a/c on the ground floor needed a good dust.

Good grief! I was one of the Museum's "Men in Black" in the '90s. We walked on top of the Belfast with brushes and a hose, the only aid to elfin safety was a wobbly towed cherry picker. Nice to see the current team looking so professional.
