Just to put the record straight...
BBMF are not fully funded by public monies. I, and many others, used to give time for FREE when Not Required for Duty (NRD). Also, we had a bit of sponsorship from various companies who would get their names on the back of the brochure. It is nothing like the Reds in public funding terms.
I do hope that Hangarshuffle was joshing - I have a lot of respect for the RNHF.
