I made a Freedom of Information request as to what was happening to the large aircraft at Wroughton. They HAD to reply as it is their legal responsibility to do so.
Well surprise, surprise, they had only ONE offer and that was not practical so those aircraft are not moving. I think most of us could have told Blatchford that was a likely outcome., and, it only confirms that, so far as aviation is concerned, they haven’t got a clue and are totally unsuited to have charge of this element if our aviation heritage .
So Blatchford, wishes to increase public access to these aircraft, simple, old chap, reopen the neglected museum at Wroughton, not exactly rocket science.
As a comparison, two Brits are flying a Spitfire around the world, but is beyond the competence of the SM management to enable a glider recovery from an airfield, well messrs Melham and Moore, consider such an operation “ dangerous”. What utterly pathetic, snowflakes.
....and we taxpayer pay these guys !!!!!!
