Could be outstanding
29 August 2010
"An awesome array of aircraft well worth a visit. A couple of minor flaws. The Cold War Hangar contains too many exhibits for its size resulting in a confusing jumble in the upper gallery! The outlines of the magnificent Vulcan and Victor are lost amongst their overlapping wings and it is difficult to appreciate them from the patches of under-belly that are visible! Remove a couple small planes and spread things out a little. Some steps or a gantry to enable visitors to see inside/over the top of the aircraft would also improve things greatly.
The other two hangars were excellent and made the whole trip worthwhile, especially the presence of the TSR2. A good museum with enough interactive displays to keep everyone entertained."

Disappointed
22 August 2010
"I was very disappointed at the lack of reference to photography at the museum, especially as Cosford is the home of the Joint School of Photography. The disappearance of the Kodak Photography exhibition was a shame. Where is it now?
Ed: The building housing the History of Military Photography was demolished to make way for the National Cold War Exhibition in 2005. Those artefacts that were judged appropriate for the RAF Museum were removed to the museum’s Reserve Collection where they remain in store. There are presently no plans or funds to reinstate the exhibition however we do review this on a regular basis. Thank you for your comments and interest."

The V Force Not Justified
27 July 2010
"The new building where the V bombers are housed is good looking on the outside but, it does not display these aircraft in a way that you can step back in awe of them.
There are too many items in the space that make it hard to appreciate the aircrafts' scale. The building does its job of keeping them safe from the elements but I think a conventional building like Hangar 1, 2 or 3 would be better suited for them.
Ed: Thanks for the comment Dan. We appreciate the time you've taken to make it and the score of 4.5 out of 5 that you have given the Museum.
We receive comments on a regular basis about the NCWE exhibition and take them on board when we look at how we should enhance our displays on this site. Given the limited Hangar space that we have at Cosford, it is not feasible for us to move the V Force elsewhere, but we do receive on a regular occurrence positive comments about the innovative manner in which our 3 V bombers are displayed.
