Does anyone know if the RAF museum has set up anything like a paypal account to raise funds for raising and restoring this aircraft?

It is illegal to take anything from this wreck as it is M.O.D. property. Anyone taking anything without permission can be prosecuted. The RAF museum has applied for lottery funding on the grounds of it being of great historical importance.Lets hope they get it.
