So from the horse's mouth:

"would be unlikely that we could offer any further support having already awarded a substantial grant."

Then why have they donated the following to the activities at Duxford:

£6,500,000 for the American Air Museum
£314,500 for the Duxford Aviation Society
£9,500,000 for the Airspace Project

Surely this could be classed as additional funding for the one "location".

Interestingly enough, the only "Private" organisation, DAS, got the smallest grant......

BUT THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM, WHICH IS OWNED BY THE STATE / GOVERNMENT / PEOPLE GOT A TOTAL OF £16,000,000!!!!!

And to add further insult to injury, the Brighton West Pier has bee awarded 4 Grants totalling £13,557,600! Why can HLF award "additional funding" to some but not others?

I will question HLF on these matters when I write to them.
