Peter, Thank you for the additional information. I would like to explain to you and fellow TarBoarders
why I am concerned at the current turn of events.
- The WSM contained a very effective display of AR related items, not just Mavis and Esperance,
but also material relating to Brigit Sanders and the formation of The Arthur Ransome Society. - The WSM was a very effective "living museum". It was a wonderful example of the sort of "best
practice" relating to steam heritage that a group of us are trying to encourage in Poland. - The WSM was not just a museum of steamboats, but contained a precious repository of knowledge
about their operation and restoration. Future plans should ensure that this is also preserved.
I think that this is a matter that will repay further investigation. If I find out anything more, I will report back
on TarBoard.
