Interesting to read about a PBY museum to 
commemorate the former Whidby NAS. However,
i wonder where the big bucks are going to come 
from. Many museums are sinkholes for money;
i also recall reading an NYT article about a year
ago, before the economic downturn, that said
regional museums, those outside megalopolis,
were suffering a decline in attendance. So in 
these economic circumstances, who's the 
angel? 
While i'm being negative, i wonder what 
infinitesimally small fraction of  potential
visitors cares about seeing any radios. 

Which reminds me, re the Flight Heritage
Collection in Everett, WA - i should send 
them a note that their Lancaster section
needs better signage. I suspect many 
visitors have no idea that they are looking
at the radio operator's position or the 
navigator position.
