In this case I beg to differ. This aircraft was after all part of a national collection and so you could argue that it was 'owned' by the public, before being acquired by TFC, so I don't see what's wrong with showing interest and concern as to what is going to happen to it....
As an answer to the other post, BAe won't be interested as they were going to donate RR299 to the BBMF at the end of the airshow season in which she was lost.
I sincerley hope a UK based organisation will take her on, but I can't thing who........there just doesn't seem to be enough interest in Mossie's.......for some unfathomable reason...????
