They are getting the DC-3 from the Science Museum in Durham. When I was last in area, 2005, the DC-3 had already been moved and restoration had begun. If you are going to include one an airframe in a transportation collection, the DC-3 is the right item.



I wonder, then, if they've had the DC-3 since 2005, why they don't talk about it on their website. You'd think they'd be proud of it, even if it's still under restoration.

Look under the restoration page, it talks about the restoration of a building which will become the new new home of their displays. An artist's representation of the new display space include a DC-3 hanging from the ceiling. I didn't go looking for other references. They likely don't advertise it since people visiting would expect to see it and it is not ready to go on display.
