Finding a volunteer force isn’t that easy – as I’m sure many are painfully aware! We’ve found that people sign up bursting with enthusiasm, turn up for at most about 6 weeks – and then vanish.
We’ve had the same core of people for about 4 years now with many drifters wandering in and then out – never to be seen again.
What IS nice, is having a few of the ex British Eagle guys come out of retirement to work on the Britannia. One chap regularly drives up from Shropshire to Liverpool to spend a day working on the aircraft. Another drove all the way up from Lyme Regis and has already booked a B&B for a return visit later this month.
The great shame for me is seeing far too few youngsters getting involved.
A good team is such a blessing. We’ve got one now and I can certainly see another one at MAM !
I really hope a team can be found for Long Marston and that the owners are happy to let them loose.

Hey dont I count as a youngster!? Compared to you oldies at the airport anyway 😉
