Space and time prevent a complete description, but in essence the collection will be housed in a new building/wing, with the WW2 gallery on the ground floor (first floor to Americans) and WW1 on the first (second). Jet fighters will go to a new branch at Everett, where the MoF already has its restoration facility. The Champlin acquisition makes for some duplication - for instance, there will be two Camels and two Spitfires, although one on loan, and of course two Corsairs - but I don't know how it will be handled. The architectural model for the WW1 section is quite spectacular; I have less precise visual memories of the WW2 hall.
