I've been on board a couple of times this year and she is in excellent condition and some very interesting displays. It's a shame she (and so many others are all inside close together as you cant get a really good perspective of the aircraft but it does mean that they are safe from the elements and in good condition which in the long term is far more important.

by the way, for anybody who isnt aware and would like to see the USAAF museum aircraft at Duxford out in the open which should make for some good photos, the museum roof is being refurbished and the holding points for the suspended aircraft checked next year so all the aircraft will be outsid efor a while, I know they are mainly military but thought it worth a mention
