I have just received a letter to say that Friends of Duxford (FOD) membership is no more, and has been swallowed up by the Imperial War Museum (IWM)
Plus side seems to be that the IWM premium membership will apply to all IWM sites, but there are losses in the perks offered.
Sad, as I saw FOD as a small friendly operation when the funds raised were targeted to my interest in aviation. Now my money will go to a larger faceless monolith and split between all arms. Once the fees are announced, it will be time to review whether I want to stay a member as I don't get to visit Duxford very often these days.
