The Fly Harrier Trust
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Your work fits this trust if it centres on historic aircraft, such as restoring, conserving, displaying or educating the public about aircraft like the Harrier.
- Its stated objects are narrow, so a project outside that field is unlikely to match.
- Its registered area of operation is throughout England, but no grant range or published application process was found, so check its website or annual report, then contact the trust before applying to ask whether it takes new requests and what size it considers.
- The latest annual report records £293,714 paid in grants, all to one company, Fly Harrier Limited, for restoring and renovating a Harrier for display, so there is little on record to suggest a typical request size.
