So, who's interested in becoming a trustee of the Sandringham Foundation?
It's an idea a colleague and I have been kicking around for a while and, what the heck, as you guys brought it up we might as well give it a try.
We currently have no money, no premises and no flying boats;so the only way is up. We do have some interesting and exciting plans, not only for a Sandringham flying boat but for other flying boat and floatplane concepts.
Our mission and aims are:
Mission
Through aviation we will educate, inspire, and encourage people everywhere to aid the most vulnerable and threatened places, people and creatures of our planet.
Aims
To promote interest and educate the general public in aviation whilst raising money for established charities
To raise awareness of global and conservation issues whilst raising money for established global charities
To advance awareness and understanding of the shared aviation and maritime heritage of the countries of the world
To rebuild a flying boat to airworthy condition and to demonstrate the aircraft in flight for the widest possible audience, providing interpretation and education pertaining to its historical, technical and social context
Shall we just opine its passing or shall we do something about it?
