Hi all,
Am I right in thinking that once at Hendon, '778 will be displayed in a flying attitude.

What is the general concensus on this method of display?

While I accept that this method creates space, so that more airframes can be bought undercover, I personally am really not a fan of this method of display.

I feel that if anything, it actually removes that particular frame from the publics' view, unless close to public walkways and corridors!

I also understand that IWM Duxford are planning a similar move with the new super hanger and intend 'flying' the TSR2. Personally this is one of my favourite aircraft and I feel that this is a bad move, but what about everyone else?

For or against?

Thanks, Tony
