There is a GoFundMe campaign here:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-the-scarf-vc that aims to collect £250,000 to keep the VC medal awarded to Arthur Scarf in the UK. I don't have all the details, but apparently it was sold at auction to an overseas buyer but the museum has been given the option to match the bid and keep it here. This is one of only 22 VCs awarded to RAF personnel and the only one relating to actions in the Far East. If the campaign is succesful, the museum will use their own funds and a grant to get to the total amount needed. Worth a look. The name Arthur Scarf VC flew on VC10 C1(K) XV109 for 42 years, moving to ZA147 for an additional three years before the type was retired.
