I'd like to put a small comment in here; 

Although we are from the UK and Paul Evan's museum is also in the UK,
it is something that we all need to address in our charity
contributions, not on a country by country basis but as a wider effort
to support anything that is worthwhile AND engine-related.

When we come over to the USA, we support the Friends of The USAF
Museum for example, but not our own 'local' UK-based Duxford Air
Museum. We also have had involvement in the ATIS Charity Auctions at
Xmas and feel that these are all things that should continue.

I personally don't think that we should limit our contribution to just
the USA, we should be looking further afield to other countries where
there are suitable sites to invest a small amount in.

We are an international group, we should think internationally.
