The Irish historical flight museum is going ahead, with assistance and support from several airlines and both the British MoD and the Irish DoD.... I can't put the link up, so happy hunting.

spares for aircraft or insight into technical side of running a historical flight maybe??"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

They are taking this very seriously as the Chipmunks are privately owned but have been transferred to the IHF, the Don and the IAA are throwing money ( paid a lot of money to get 168 back to flight) and time at it and Lingus is allowing the Iolar to be included and from what I hear, the Museum will go ahead. This has been in the pipeline for a long time and the heavy hitters are backing it.

Irish Historic Flight. 2,701 likes · 7 talking about this. Irish Historic Flight Foundation is a fantastic initiative for the aviation industry to celebrate Ireland’s rich aviation heritage.
Apparently the aircraft pictured is the T9 crashed during the summer, repairs are underway at Biggin Hill. But the owner has stated his intention to sell it..."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

well, if they want to get a Spitfire and keep it flying, they need deep, very deep pockets just to even buy it, let alone keep it running. Merlin parts cost telephonic amounts of money......there's a very nice Marchetti sitting there that could be made flyable for very small money. It'd be more in their line to try that.....

The Fouga, BXO, was allowed to be registered (they couldn't decline to) but the IAA stalled when push came to shove and declined to allow it to fly on the basis that there was no person in Ireland certified to sign off maintenance on the Fouga as a civilian and there was no legal protocol to allow jet warbirds to fly on the Irish register (and still isn't).
