The RAF Museum Cosford and the National Cold War Exhibition
In this video Al and Ross consider the following statements and questions:
- How did the transformation of Cosford to a museum site change public access to the RAF’s history?
- Was there a deliberate attempt to develop a complementary collection to that at Hendon?
- How important is the annual air show in extending the reach of the RAF museums to the Midlands and the North?
- When was a decision made to develop a National Cold War Exhibition?
- Could you discuss how the display of the RAF aircraft in the National Cold War Exhibition differs from that in Hendon?
- Why does the building look like a huge steel tent?
