Save a Sea King for Moray and Scotland

The yellow Sea King has been a welcome sight to many in Scotland and the Morayvia group are trying to keep one at their base at Kinloss where it would be open to the public. The aircraft at Lossiemouth are due to cease operations at midnight on the 31st March after which they will be flown south to be disposed of with one reputed to be heading to the RAF Museum at Hendon. Once the other aircraft is decommissioned it will no longer be flyable and, if Morayvia is successful in it's bid, it will have to be brought back on a low loader at vast expense. It would appear to be far more sensible if the aircraft remained up here and to this end Morayvia have started a petition on AVAAZ which has already topped 1200 signatures but more are needed. We realise that we won't be the only group interested in saving a Sea King but our location means that we need to act quickly before the deed is done so please support us. Thanks
