My quid's with you.
And, if that 'public' money was to be made available, let's spread it about over more numerous types so that, arguably, it would offer a wider interest and extend the airshow flying programme at any given event.
Nice memories; but if it's only going to do a max power, 20 degree climb, followed by a gentle 45 degree wingover, I'd spend my two million (and more!) on something more attention-grabbing. A big slice of our aviation history - yes. But Harrier will be, and Bucc/Lightning and others of significance also were - and what of them?
All your money in one basket ---------
