Aircraft at RAF Museum Cosford under threat?

[thedissapointed]

i have been tied to cosford since 1977 when my dad joined the museum society. i rember the the vc10 ,707 ,bac 111, trident and brittania flying into the museum. the viscont was allready there it was the last one flying in ba colours . by road came a viking an ex cafe from france or belguim in channel colours.the comet 1 was ex raf from shawbury but in french colours ,also many vehiclies buses and tugs. a wooden 747 crew trainer also came.
lord King sent them to preserve civil aircraft history. the museum was independant a poor relation out station to hendon. no government cash just what it could beg or borrow. and ba spent cash there .
i have seen many changes in the management and ideals of hendons historeans and the latest forgets that military and civil aviation is hand in glove. when its gone its gone

Hi there..

I would be interested as to who your Dad is... I used to work at the museum as part of the society from about 1980...
