Gatwick collection may be scrapped - Council decides

As some of you may know GAM is in the process of attempting once again to be granted planning permission to construct a purpose built new Museum building to house it's aircraft. We are now very close to making that application.

Here is a quote from the draft letter which will accompany the application.

"This innovative design enables preservation of not only our significant collection of heritage status historic aircraft but positively contributing to all aspects of green belt. Its location directly alongside the operational activity of Gatwick confirms its true “sense of place” enabling people to visit and enjoy the countries heritage, the visual link to the modern aircraft of Gatwick and the integral openness of the green belt."

We have been asking if members of the public, historic and general aviation community would be good enough to offer their support by letter or email. Many have responded but we are now very close to the actual application being presented. Therefore I would like to appeal to anyone who can give us a couple of minutes of their time to send an email to Peter Vallance at [email protected] in support. Thank you, we appreciate the support given to us so far.
