Poor MOD

Guys cheers for really helpful replies, Im sure insurance is not an issue because I can remember a casual user fee plus most light a/c have there own insurance around 7 mil the standard but of the top of my head(bald that it is) I cant remember the rules on mil airfields. Im pretty sure now there is no crown indemity? Just seems a shame that we cant help an aviation charity when all the civilian airfields seem to help them. It just annoys me so much how much we waste and when it matters.............Last Thurs was the launch of the event and we werent sure the BBMF Spitfire was gonna make it x winds etc, some chap obviously had a few bob said well wait I ll go and get my Spitfire! In the end we had 2 Spitfires plus OC BBMF supporting and a disabled lady who went solo for the first time that day. You just wonder at times has the services lost the plot to civil servants with no grip on reality!! Once again guys thanks for advice/support.
