Carers Statement
IWM Duxford says:
“We have never charged carers for everyday admission to the museum and that remains the case. We did introduce a charge for carers at our air show last month but, following feedback from disabled visitors and their peers, it’s now clear that we misjudged the bigger picture. We will now reverse that decision so that the carer accompanying a disabled visitor is, once again, not charged for admission to our air shows. We appreciate the strength of emotion expressed by many of you on this point. Please accept our apologies. We continually strive to achieve the best possible balance between making IWM Duxford as accessible and enjoyable for all whilst at the same time ensuring the museum has a long term, financially-sustainable future, and hope this decision demonstrates that approach.”

Confirmation that the Bearcat is at La Ferte via Greg
Some news for Friends of TFC. After a number of very late nights we are nearly ready to change over the way your subscriptions and access to FofTFC pages work.

In the meantime their is some helpful news about paypal subscriptions on the FofTFC main page you may find useful.
