Revamp the club. Stick a collection bomb under her nose. Get tin collectors out like they used to in the old days. Stick some new markings on her. Have a Sally B day. Have a photo-shoot with re-en actors, bomb trollies and a talk. Speak to Airfix and get a B17 Sally B new tooling in the shops. At the next airshow I want to see a “save our Sal” campaign. Have some better commentary at shows – I’m sure good commentary goes a long way to selling the exhibits. Any US Modern Aircraft care to attend her birthday.
In other words “try something different”.
There is support out there. My nephew thinks Sally B is the best aircraft on the circuit.
What happened to North Weald this year. Could have had a Sally B and friends fly-in.
What’s it like being a supporter these days? I was a supporter for 13 years but when it became a charity I felt a little left out. With the Great Warbirds gone, Biggin Hill closed shes faded into the background a little. Need to fly the Sally B flag a bit more vigorously. Especially in these hard financial times.
If Just Jane can get a few hundred quid out of me with a non flying experience I’m sure there must be ways of prying a few quid out of people with a flyer?
