The Historic Flight as an MoD organisation is sadly no more, for there is not the funding or enthusiasm to assure the aircrafts airworthiness. BBMF are publicly funded and the RNHF have single service champions throughout their chain of command and it this that keeps them going, unfortunately, army aircraft do not garner the same level of single service support. A trust is being formed with the involvement of HQ AAC to run the aircraft as a civil operation piloted by volunteers on a PPL, the engineering will continue at MW. There are a lot of hurdles to overcome, obtaining the CofA/PtF from the CAA, securing sponsorship, getting a PDA, finding trustees to name a few. Pilots are OK for the moment but qualifying new pilots could be a challenge for the Scout but not insurmountable.
