Bismarck! All the Services have memorials! Some government funded, others run by trusts! The Navy has just agreed £25 million to be spent on HMS Victory from MOD funds!
I am not sure the Government does fund memorials? Most memorials are set up by public subscription. Re VICTORY, I think this represents a final, one-off, payment as the ship has now been passed to a trust to run and maintain.
We are not obsessed but trying to preserve a memorial which for a change, really means something! It's near to where the B of B was actually fought and is already visited by 12000 people a year! As things stand, it may end up the only part of Biggin Hill that survives!
Exactly, that is why all of your efforts should be geared to setting up a trust to run the chapel, not expect MOD to fund it ad infinitum.
