My local aviation museum / heritage centre is being forced to close by some short sighted local politicians.

Maybe they think they're being far-sighted if they need the area for a spaceport?  Just an observation, not a personal opinion.

But a shame to lose the facillity with no alternative.

Money over culture. I can see the 'need' for a spaceport, but surely every good space port needs a visitor centre? With real aircraft in?

Will definitely be making a final visit or two before the end of October.

Culture doesn't always come free of charge  ;)

Those heritage centre's are important! If we lose where we came from (on a subject) all it's experience is lost forever!
Things from the past still have an enormous value for our way way of life today...

If anyone fancies signing a petition again the closure of CAHC I am sure they would be most grateful for the support.
