I have read this thread with interest, amusement and dismay.
Why is it the British way to knock anyone with any vision?
Dr P has HAD the vision to restore this particular aircraft, it could have been something else..............
It is a CHARITY, as such it is reliant as is Oxfam, RSPCA, Help for Hero's etc on the public handing over their cash to support them.
How many of you are aware that only £190k from RIAT was actually handed out to benefactors?
