Hi @I_W_M - You have closed your Duxford archive to researchers, for years now, although it is still staffed. 1) Why is it closed to the public ? 2) When is it going to reopen ?

The Imperial War Museum @I_W_M continues to erroneously claim copyright over countless historical images and charges hyperinflated fees for their use. It's time this stopped and that images captured at great sacrifice for everyone, be made available, for everyone.

So, here it is. Can the IWM *really* claim © on Crown Copyright images etc where copyright has long expired? Surely these images should be out of copyright & free to use, right? Right? /1 #History #Heritage #Museums

Can’t believe it. Saw Tina Turner live at Wembley with my bro during her ‘final’ 24/7 tour. In her 60s then but seemed unstoppable. That performance was filmed for the One Last Time documentary and by chance it popped up on TV the other day. Mesmerising, as she always was.

Which of these two cars pays the most tax? The 5.0-litre V8 Mustang with CO2 emissions of 299g/km, or the plug-in hybrid Lexus that emits just 21g/km? That's right, its the Lexus - it pays £570 while the Mustang pays only £180. 3/4

Isn't it time we simplified all of this? We've crunched the numbers and found that the Government could afford to sweep away years of orphaned policies like this, without jeopardising revenue for HM Treasury. Download our report to see how: loopagency.co.uk/lets-simpli… 4/4

The Dacia Jogger’s award-winning practicality is now available to all thanks to an innovative Wheelchair Accessible Car conversion by Sirus Automotive. Full story, including the view of one of the first customers, here ➡️ bit.ly/429uGmC #Dacia
One of the first customers using the Dacia Jogger Wheelchair Accessible Car in Dusty Khaki colour. The conversion enables wheelchair access via a lightweight, counterbalanced ramp (shown in the image). By lowering the floor, Sirus Automotive has been able to achieve a seated head height of 139cm with the Dacia Jogger's space and generous headroom ensuring a wheelchair user can sit comfortably.

I don't feel like that in the Dacia Jogger as I am sat further forwards, so I can sit with my grandchildren and just feel like part of the family.”
