Or alternatively, get involved with a smaller group who look after maybe one or two aircraft.
We are at the begining of the restoration of a Buccaneer and a Meteor and have 8 active volunteers, each one is hands on regardless of experience, all we ask is that they have a willingness to learn, we have had several people in the past who express an interest in becoming involved only to find that they are happy to stand around with their hands in their pockets and watch others work, I am sure other groups have had this type of volunteer before.

Felix, it maybe worth talking to the chaps at White Waltham.
