Simple really, we set up a registered charity (five trustees needed), raise money, find an airframe, rebuild it, fly it. Easy as that.
It would take years, it would take a lot of money. So what?
If anyone is seriously interested PM me or yme; as he's now seriously on board after PMing me yesterday.
Being a trustee isn't an onerous task, a handful of meetings and making sure that those running things aren't doing anything stupid.
I'd really like to hear from people who'd be serious about helping in any way (a spare Sunderland or a spare £20 million would help but are not mandatory).
It is not impossible, it's not easy or quick but it's not impossible.
We would aim to raise money initially - 50% to the foundation, 50% to established charities - by carrying out long distance flights in the UK and Europe.
Then we would look at flying further and at using renewable energy in aviation to further raise funds and the profile of the foundation.
