I should also write a few lines in defence of Duxford and Stephen Walton in particular. The inaccessibility is simply due to the significant building works being undertaken, coupled with the removal of asbestos related materials before these works could commence. The extent of these works has meant that the files and microfilm reels have had to go into deep storage. Stephen was good enough to let me visit in February just as the boxes were being removed. The material is accessible under very limited conditions and with 28 days notice which frankly means anyone interested in any of the files is best off waiting for the building work to be completed which will be early 2019.
Researchers will be hard pressed to find a more accommodating and helpful archivist than Stephen Walton. I can't speak too highly of him.
