Oh, I don't know; I'd hope I'm not too contemptible, so I suppose the question isn't aimed at me.
But, maybe, probably, those people are investing in aviation heritage projects that aren't a pipe-dream, that are robustly costed, have an aircraft, mean something to the person donating, display an aircraft, have a well-tested and workable business strategy, get their marketing right, don't try and run as fast as Usain Bolt before they have learned to crawl, let alone walk, have clear aims and focus, are registered, have been in operation for some time, demonstrate that they are able to preserve aviation heritage, give you confidence that what little spare cash you have that you may wish to donate wont be spent aimlessly or without purpose, etc, etc...
You know... those kinds of projects...
The problem with "hope" is that it's very noble, but why should someone with a little spare cash to donate divert hard-earned monies to UKHAT when they could donate to, say, Sally B, or Navy Wings? That's the true challenge UKHAT faces. It's a competitive market out there.
