No problem. I just wanted to make sure that others who may not have visited the museum were discouraged from doing so. Despite the clear lack of priority placed on the Beau it is still a very nice museum.
BTW... I saw the newly restored Me 163 yesterday. Looks very nice now!

I got a close-up look at the Beau on Monday. Corrosion did not appear severe, although there did appear to be some on the firewalls near the engine mounts. The only thing that I didn't like (other than the obvious outside storage) is the fact that the birds have not been so kind to it! However the museum has taken steps to ensure that less "deposits" are left behind.
