I believe that she has served her purpose well in her present "diorama" guise and for a number of decades now. A useful and educational exhibit which was very thought provoking it has to be said.

As a significant and extremely historically valuable airframe, now would be an excellent opportunity to embark upon a full restoration to get this lady back upon her feet where she belongs and now. Costly? yes, loss of originality? yes perhaps a lot of original structural material may require replacing in order to facilitate this direction, but none the less the reward will be significant in my own opinion.

It'll never happen whilst Mr Fopp is custodian though........
