I saw this and was a little surprised as the Museum of Computing has an affiliation with the Science Museum, and the Science Museum has a large exhibits collection at Wroughton airfield about 5 miles South of Swindon. Given that they've got several aircraft hangers on the site I would have thought they could have found somewhere to put the Museum of Computing - the only drawback would be that they might need work on the buildings to make them suitable for computing equipment rather than the buses/hovercraft etc. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
