Description
...some aircraft museums and collections are in pristine condition...some are crowded and seemingly cluttered with aircraft stacked like cord wood...waiting for some benefactor to rescue them.
...but the scene above isn't a sad story of neglect and decay but a story of historic conservation/preservation for future generations.

P.S. This photo was taken at the Topeka Combat Aviation Museum in Topeka, Kansas.

Now that looks like my kind of place mate. I must admit I don't mind the atmosphere in those old places where the cabins are full of dust and memories. Is that an old Thunderchief? I reckon I can see a Douglas C-47D Skytrain back there and even a Model 18 Beech in there too!

You definitely have more aircraft museums and collections to visit there - we have two. I really like it in B&W. Leaves the mind to fill in the colours! Clive

I like the monochrome and the striking composition.

Lovely shot Bill. That looks like a Dakota in the back!!

Great image Bill, the crowding suggests a surprise at each turn, not knowing what's hidden behind the next item of interest.The Mono works excellently...

It is a great composition, and very striking in sepia...

Nice one, Bill! Now, I really have to stop in there.. I've been past that museum a couple times when I used to service the KSANG at Forbes. Wish I'd had the time to go in...

Terrific shot!!

Interesting shot of the overcrowded museum, Bill. The worst collection of old aircraft and parts I ever saw was at the Chino Air Museum outside boneyard in Chino, California. Despite being careful, one could experience cuts, bumps, bruises, and stumbling when maneuvering around that mess.

Very cool, Bill!

WOW - that looks like a lot of heavy metal and also like a jigsaw puzzle, this goes with that etc., etc.... a very busy scene in monochrome - or so it seems, well done Bill, BB

It's easier to hear the old voices and the roar of the engines, and to imagine these plane's histories when they're in this condition. Restoration is excellent ... but the ones waiting to be fixed up are the ones that speak the loudest in my ear. Wonderful photograph!

Let’s hope that some of this finds its way into a restoration project. Great shot! Dana
