Perhaps REG Davies is going to take some of the great stuff (Airliner Models in my opinion) from the upper floors, which is on display, but not the the general public. I had the opportunity back when AIRLINERS magazine still had a relationship with Ron Davies, to go up there and see all the great "stuff". It would blow you away, especially if you are into Airliner Models. It's kind of a shame, there is so much neat "stuff" there for the Airliner fans, but, you can't see it. God knows what kind of "stuff" is hidden behind closed doors there........ Wally, have you been up there?
