That will be confirmed very soon as we are just finalising our application for charitable status.

Based at Coventry Airport, AFM were responsible for looking after all of the aircraft belonging to Classic Air Force (a charitable organisation that closed down at the end of the 2015 airshow season) and have a wealth of knowledge in operating vintage aircraft in the United Kingdom.

A flick through Duncan Halford's Twitter timeline would make me question his suitability.
Some most unsavoury tweets and retweets, such as:

Among lots of similar.
From what I can see one of the businesses he runs is selling a few eggs at car boot sales. Not exactly the kind of business experience you'd be trusting with donations that could run into the hundreds of thousands.

Morning all, I'll put a list of jobs/roles we need to consider and jobs we need to get to grips with later today. Have we had any luck with museums? Unfortunately looking at her condition it doesn't look like she can be towed from her current location to another one on the airport unless we do some work first. We need to find out a time scale from the airport on how long we have.
I wonder how much one of these hangars would cost - http://www.rubbuk.com/brochures/aviation.pdf If we could buy some land on an airfield and build our own, that would be good
A hell of a lot of money. Close to a million pounds I'd say
Then again, you could look at the sort of principle VTTS are going to do-a builder builds the hangar and then you lease it back off them and pay it off over time

A quick check shows that BAPC has a membership of over 100 groups/museums in the UK; at a guess looking after well over a thousand airframes!

Finally, I would just like to point out those that have offered us advice over the past few months in order to show that we are in contact with some of the best people in the business!
