I am a member of Air-Britain Historians and they have a private member only Forum AB-IX. A member posted that he with others visited Hawkinge, was followed by the lady at reception. He made a note of a Bf 109 citation and the whole lot of them were thrown out, no discussion,no compromise at all. There was then a flood of comments on the forum from other people that had got ejected for staring too hard at an exhibit and many members voiced the opipion that they were going to visit but would now boycott the place and hit them "in their pocket"

I personally couldn't care a less and have no vendetta against the place but was just issuing a friendly warning as anyone using ToCH would ber "persona non grata" if they showed too much interest in anything. Vist Lashenden instead, very friendly with 2 very interesting/unique original a/c on site. It is claimeD that Hanna Reisch flew the V-1.

By the way, great music!!

Finally there are also recovered parts in the USAF Museum at Parham, Suffolk, this seems to only open in the Summer but operhaps a local can give more data on opening times
