MarkG (from South Wales)

Well back when st athen had all the historic aircraft like the spitfires and other aircraft , he went all over wales with a patition to stop them moving to Hendon but he couldn’t stop it, then he came up with an Idea of finding an old hanger or building big enough to hold aircraft to maintain them back to flying standards, and have people on the dole / community service / volunteers ( I think my old man invented the idea of new deal ) to help do them up with training from staff at St Athan which he had arranged with St Athan but couldn’t find the funding to rent / buy a building so that plan went out the window.

when they shut down rhoose he said that if someone open an aircraft museum he would assist in anyway he could to start a new one, he also said that they was once offered a hanger ( Flying Club Hanger now ) on the otherside of the airfield when the museum was kicked off the airfield where the BAMC building is now the aircraft wouldn’t have got derilict and the museum may not of have gone bust.

So if you know anyone thinking of starting one please let me know.
