RAF Stafford (Museum)

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to put on open display the museum items stored at RAF Stafford.

Answer: As the RAF museum is a non-departmental public body, the day-to-day running is a matter for the Board of Trustees and the senior management team.I understand that items held within the RAF museum's reserve collection, at RAF Stafford, are available to members of the public by appointment, as the site is not suitable for general public access. The RAF museum regularly reviews the items kept on display at its two public sites, and suitable items from the reserve collection may be included in the revised displays.
