Gerry,
This is indeed Lord Ashcroft....I had forgotten his name, but not his deeds in preserving some part or your History (RAF related too).
Let's hope the RAF Heritage Fund or some other Fund will be able to purchase the full Museum and keep it there.
During the writing of the late Wing Commander Gomm's biography, a good friend of mine told me the story of the Flight Engineer, the sole survivor of ED998's machine, whose medals were sold at auction. This friend of mine acquired the Medals and returned them to the Family, because he was sure this was the right thing to do. Maybe, this spirit still prevails, maybe not...but it really breakes my heart to see a Museum being sold, specially an Aviation related.
Thank you Gerry...and all the best.
A.
