The collection is one of the best i have visited and is so personal nearly every item has a history explained so becomes real not just an exhibit , as an aviation museum this puts duxford and omaka into the shadows as a perfectly restored plane is good but it was the men who controlled these machines and their stories that are the basis of the collection at point clear martello Iain visited the museum yesterday absolutely briliant and many thanks to our guide Bill very imformative . in response to the above comment i did feel someone else was permanently with us around the museum and my friend steve who was with me said several times that he heard strange things .

Whilst looking around i became aware of a man standing next to me wearing a duffle type coat with a white beard. It suddenly appeared to be the man whos picture and story i was reading about. He vansihed as quick as he appeared i walked to the top of the stairs and asked my wife if anyone had come down the stairs and she sai no. I firmly believe i saw the spirit of this man and wondered if anyone else ever reported a similar or same experience.
