Re: UK air Museum closures -
Shuttleworth now shut, but Swiss Gardens open 10am - 5pm, free of charge.
Re: UK air Museum closures -
Good to see the swiss gardens still open to give people space to go!

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Every museum in the UK, of any kind, is closed until further notice.
Apart, apparently, from a lawnmower museum situated within a garden centre in Sussex.

Have you got a link? I do like engines and lawnmowers - not for now but when things are better I might like to visit.

I'm betting it will be closed in a few days. Somebody is bound to grass them up

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Good call, although personally I would go with the Wildcats because as everyone knows ‘it’s a lot less bover with a hover’.

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Perhaps worth mentioning that museums will be able to re-open from July 4th.
Re: UK air Museum closures -
Last night's Lockdown Lecture from the Museum of Army Flying mentioned opening from the 13th - shame it's a bit far for a day trip for me.FlankerPhoto wrote: ↑Tue 23 Jun 2020, 11:52 amPerhaps worth mentioning that museums will be able to re-open from July 4th.

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Here's the main part of a tweet that we posted earlier - "Encouraged by the change in guidelines allowing museums to reopen; we’re putting in place the Covid-Secure policies & will make a decision on the date of our reopening once we are happy that this is complete. .."
As I type it is unlikely that we'll re-open on the 4th, but perhaps shortly there after - still working on a few aircraft moves related to the eventual arrival of DA4 - the shop will continue to remain open each Tues, Weds, Fri, Sat & Sun until we re-open fully.
All shop sales are vital to our future operations: http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/NAM_Shop_To_Re-Open

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Has to be said, I'm excited for museums opening again. Another big part of the summer I've missed.

Re: UK air Museum closures -
Surprised nothing from Duxford yet. I would have thought with all their hardstanding it would be easy enough to do a limited opening.

Re: UK air Museum closures -
The IWM have 3 museums, a ship and an underground bunker to organise social distancing for. Might take a bit longer.
Re: UK air Museum closures -
If they've any sense they'll devolve responsibility on a site by site basis. Especially at such a financially lean time I would have thought they'd open the sites that they safely can as soon as they're allowed.
