I will say that the museum is a lot different than when I first went there. No little picket fences to keep you away, no dust and litter, and every impression that the vehicles are ready to fire up drive away, (as indeed many can), and a good cross section as well.
I guess I was surprised at this guys ( would you prefer perceived) lack of interest in the vehicles. Fair enough ,years ago when someone poor soul pulled museum duty for buggering about, they were not interested, but with someone volunteering to be there I expected some modicum of interest in the museums exhibits. I went expecting to learn something, and in particular to have a good look at the Humber FV1600 .It was dissapointing that I came away none the wiser, and perhaps in that this guy missed out on an oppourtunity to pick up a little something about one of his Exhibits. BTW why IS the pick head mounted where it is on the Champ.
Really, the biggest joke was that being a Landie owner (Series II, III, Defender, Rangie) for over twenty years I got heartly sick of hearing about Bloody Toyotas every time I went bush. Now its happening again!
