Happy to share Igor, and yes karl, the angles for the F-111 were a bit tight.
N, far as I know, the Curator and staff of the museum were not involved in any decisions or actions, which happened a number of years ago. Before the Museum opened to the public, myself and a number of other members of the Aero Club were invited down to tour the exhibits, and offer help and advice where needed. At the time, the RAF had just stripped -out all the AEW equipment from the 'Shack', as it was needed elsewhere! (Got some interior photos somewhere). The staff were great, allowing us to inspect all the exhibits, including sitting in the Spit, Shack etc.
I don't know the full story, but it hit the local news, when the then Manchester Council virtually ordered military exhibits to be removed. Certainly, during my visit soon afterwards, the 1/35th scale Arnhem bridge diorama, and other models and military artefacts had been removed. The diorama had been scratch-built by an Arnhem veteran, and I heard via the Parachute Regiment Association, that it had been 'thrown into a cupboard' and badly damaged.
Needless to say that, at the time, enthusiasts and like-minded people had little love for the Council, and realised that it was not the fault of the Museum. It's years since I last visited, although I know that the Spit MkV is now at Hendon.
