Being suggested on another forum that IWM may be wanting to run an airshow on the FL weekend in their own name, and keep all the gross revenue (20,000 people/day x 2 days x £35/ticket = £1.5M, plus income from car parks, trade stands etc). Seems to make sense to me.
If that is the plan, I suspect an overpaid bureaucrat's thought of it.
AFAIK, the IWM owns a total of one airworthy aircraft. Are they expecting another 20 or 30 to materialise for free?
