Nigel - the way this decision has been made is as arbitary as the way decions about other EH managed heritage have been made.

The point I was making, and I'm aware of Nighthawks and heritage issues, was all to do with whose heritage is it, who decides what is done with it and how it is used?

I know certain sites are kept under-wraps, but just showing a deserving few around them does not solve the problem, it only keeps it under control. If we do not have ideals to work towards why bother with any of it? It must mean something, it must be for something, surely its not only heritage as entertainment?

You are full of questions, sbp, but you don't come up with many suggestions?

"Nigel - the way this decision has been made is as arbitary as the way decions about other EH managed heritage have been made."

Well, I have been known to raise a polite eyebrow about EH being undemocratic, but I don't know how not publishing a location can be subject to democratic decision making, so I'm happy to leave it to them. They don't seem to abuse it.

"just showing a deserving few around them does not solve the problem, it only keeps it under control."
But it works, and it's all we have at present.

"If we do not have ideals to work towards why bother with any of it..."

Ah well, if you mean education then yes, I support it, but it'll take forever and there'll still be those who don't care...
