  17. I do think and hope that the show would be able to accept and surport Pre and Post war vehicles, yes there seems to be alot of shows that are pre war and the post war take a back seat, there is alot of intresting vehicles both pre and post war that the public shoud be able to see. The way W&P arena is run should be a good model to work on. Al

  20. We all would like to see diffrent items we think would be intresting on display but the end of the day the museum mangment and curator decides whats to be displayed, with the current standard of storage the museum has, all the items would need some work before they reach the standard to be displayed in the museum im sorry to say, I do hope you get your wish one day.
