The Duxford Radio Trust Annual Report 2019 – 2020

Registered Charity No. 1169780 Report filed 12-09-2021

The Trustees of the Duxford Radio Trust (DRT) present their annual report for the year 16 November 2019 to 15 November 2020. Accounts for the above period are listed separately. The Duxford Radio Trust was formed in 2016 to take over the assets and activities of the former Duxford Radio Society (DRS) and has a wholly owned subsidiary, Duxford Radio Limited (DRL), a company limited by shares.

1. Summary of DRT Activities November 2019 – November 2020

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic the DRT trustees/DRL directors have continued to discuss and administer the affairs of the charity by suitable means, including some face-to-face meetings, email, telephone and Zoom video conferencing.

In common with most organisations, the year 2019-2020 has been a time of turmoil, disruption, and disappointment for the Duxford Radio Trust, but for more reasons than just the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

In July 2020 Imperial War Museum Duxford management informed DRT/DRL that there was no place for the Trust and its longstanding exhibitions of military communications equipment on the Duxford Airfield site, and that all DRT artefacts must be removed from the site. The management stated (among other things) that DRT and its extensive collection of working military communications equipment used in military conflict (war) was small fry and of no consequence to IWM.

Until 23 March 2020 when, due to the pandemic, IWM closed Duxford Airfield to the public, DRT had operated for the whole benefit of IWM and its visitors, on six days per week, at no cost to IWM nor financial benefit to the Trust. DRT provided a permanent exhibition of static and working, interactive historic communications equipment, information, expert explainer services, and technical knowledgebased services. It also provided historical and electronic engineering expertise, both practically and on an information basis, to various IWM departments. IWM was never able to provide this facility from its own resources or employees.

See Appendix 1 below for the full details, which are contrary to the public information issued by IWM. On five occasions IWM management has issued a statement claiming that it was a decision of the DRT trustees to leave the IWM Duxford Airfield site. This is incorrect, DRT has been forced out by local IWM management.

From 15 November 2019 to 23 March 2020 DRT and DRL operated as normal at IWM Duxford, particularly featuring the newly refurbished IWM Radio Section exhibition displays of Land Warfare equipment in Duxford Building 177 on which DRT had expended approx. £5000 a few months previously. From 23 March 2020 all public activity at Duxford Airfield ceased when the site was closed due to the pandemic. DRT had also refurbished its exhibition of Avionics communications equipment in Building 178 at some considerable cost to the Trust.

In December 2019, citing the need for 'regulatory compliance, and instructions from Government Auditors', the IWM Duxford department of commerce and operations required DRT to become a 'commercial partner' and to formally agree to a very detailed, onerous and rigid commercial supply contract. DRT could not fulfil those contract terms. Discussions with IWM local management continued by email and telephone until 12 July 2020, when DRT received the directive to leave IWM Duxford, and it became clear that it was necessary to find a suitable and protected off-site storage location for the DRT historic communications equipment collection.

Emergency storage locations were urgently reconnoitred after IWM management declared a 2-week deadline to empty equipment from the Radio Section workshop Portakabin (previously donated to IWM by Duxford Aviation Society) so that it could be removed and scrapped. This IWM threat was later rescinded when DRT provided proof that satisfactory health and safety risk assessments were in force for the workshop and had been for some years. Since that time, occasional visits have been made to Duxford by the trustees with the permission of IWM for inspection and maintenance purposes.

The registered office of DRT has now been changed and is no longer that of IWM Duxford Airfield.

During the 2020 lockdown period the Trust has only managed to publish one issue of the Duxford Radio Journal. The old DRS/DRT Internet web site has been replaced by a temporary short-form modern-style pictorial web site which shows activities and capabilities of DRT/DRL and summarises the group history.

Following an extensive search of storage locations and dialogue with other Cambridgeshire museums, positive discussions with a supportive local landowner regarding a suitable dry and secure storage and engineering base for the DRT collection of heritage assets have resulted in a formal agreement.

DRT has now purchased quantity four off secure 20 ft shipping containers for equipment storage and a 32 ft vandal proof site office container as a workshop and conservation/restoration centre. Work to remove DRT equipment from the Duxford Airfield site was planned to begin as soon as permitted by the Government Covid-19 regulations and Health & Safety social distancing considerations etc.

Suitable venues to resume public exhibitions for the education of the public, and particularly of school children in the history and technology of radio communications, are under discussion and have yet to be formalised.

3. Objectives and Activities

The Duxford Radio Trust is a communications history and technology foundation, formed in 2016 to take over from a former unincorporated organisation, (DRS), (which since 1992 had organised the operation of the volunteer radio section at the Imperial War Museums, Duxford, England). The primary role of DRT is the education of the public in communications used in military conflict and civil emergencies, and the celebration of the efficiency and effectiveness of the armed forces of the Crown by means of the management and protection of the collection of historic communications equipment, documents and artefacts for exhibition to the public for the purposes above.

The Trust conducts research into the causes, needs, evolution, history of application and technical implementation of all types of communications used in military conflict and civil emergencies.

The Trust collects, conserves, restores, records, maintains in working order (where practicable), a reference collection of historic equipment, technologies, documents, and other artefacts related to communications in military conflict and civil emergencies

The Trust fulfils its public education obligations by using its equipment and document collection together with the accumulated knowledge and experience of the trustees and supporters to provide the materials for public exhibitions of historic radio communications, navigation, and radar artefacts.

The Trust fulfils its public education obligations by supporting independent work of other third parties in research, documentation, collection, conservation, and restoration of historic communications artefacts by proving support and information from its internal document and human knowledge base.

The Trust normally fulfils its public education obligations by publishing (via DRL) a four-monthly journal containing articles on specific historic equipment or communication related techniques. Copies of the Duxford Radio Journal are held in Cambridge University Library. During 2020 only one issue was completed and distributed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and local communications difficulties already reported.

The Trust fulfils its public education obligations by owning and operating a licensed permanent exhibition radio transmitting station with the UK national ITU/OFCOM call signs G0PZJ/GB2IWM.

The DRT collection of Allied communications equipment consists, in many cases, of complete working communications systems, (as opposed to the more common museum approach of a fragmented collection of incomplete objects obtained by receipt of random donations). The DRT collection is believed to rank the third largest in absolute size in the UK, only behind that of the IWM and RAF. However, in terms of open display to the public, it probably rates alongside the RAF in historical and technical significance, and the specialist ability of displaying operational historic equipment.

The Trust has a wholly owned subsidiary, Duxford Radio Limited (DRL), formed on the advice of the Charity Commission, to carry out any activities which, under UK charity law, are not considered wholly and exclusively for the public benefit. DRL is company number 10762055, registered in England, a company limited by Shares. The activities include the ownership and operation of the permanent special exhibition Amateur Radio communications station and equipment, UK call sign G0PZJ/GB2IWM, liaising with supporters who provide financial donations to DRT/DRL, publishing the historical/technical publication titled Duxford Radio and any trading activities necessary on behalf of the DRT parent charity etc. The limited company name can be abbreviated to DRL. DRL can also use the trading name DRS, the abbreviation of the name of the former Duxford Radio Society.

Radio station G0PZJ/GB2IWM, was able to operate single sideband (SSB) transmission, Morse code, amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM) as appropriate on the international HF and national VHF frequency bands, using both vintage and modern equipment to demonstrate radio communications in action, world-wide, for the education of the public.

The DRL Directors are Ken Ballard, Richard Howes, and John Moore. The Company Secretary is Richard Howes.

The Health and Safety Manager for both DRT and DRL is Ken Ballard and the Treasurer for both is John Moore. The Supporter Liaison Secretary and Data Controller is Brian Roberts.

Arising from the move away from supporting IWM Duxford, the DRT constitution is being revised and submitted to the Charity Commission.

Summary of objectives contained in the revised DRT Constitution V8a dated 21 October 2020

The objects of the CIO are now:

(i) the advancement of education of the general public, in the history of communications in military conflict and civil emergencies, and the consequent development of the technologies, equipment and techniques as applied to the related fields of activity of radio communications, line communications, radio navigation, radar (the process of radio detection and ranging, transponding etc.) and other forms of communications and communications technology as appropriate by means of:

(a) the research, documentation, collection, conservation, restoration, preservation, and storage of various items of electrical, mechanical, electronic, optical, and other military and non-military equipment employing various technologies together with related documents, images and ephemera, in order that they be exhibited and demonstrated to the general public in permanent and/or temporary exhibitions at selected locations in the United Kingdom.

(b) providing specialist technical knowledge, information, equipment, engineering services, other artefacts and the services of interpretation, explanation, and display, to support national, regional and local exhibitions and other similar activities, in order to create, establish and maintain a museum or other historic communications exhibits and/or displays open to the general public.

(c) providing specialist technical knowledge, information, equipment, artefacts, historic documentation, exhibitions, and support relating to communications as required to:

4. Summary of Activities, Performance and Public Benefit

The Trust was formed on 15 November 2015 and became a registered charity on 19 October 2016.

During the period under review, up until the March 2020 national lock-down ordered by H.M. Government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic , the Trust provided historical and technical information, hardware equipment, documents, materials and funding for conservation, restoration, exhibition, display and maintenance/repair of equipment in the IWM Duxford Volunteer Radio Section for the education of the public in the field of communications in military conflict and civil emergencies at the premises of the Imperial War Museums, Duxford, Cambridgeshire.

DRT/DRL provided all equipment, materials, and funding for the IWM Duxford Volunteer Radio Section. IWM provided the fabric of Duxford Airfield Buildings 177 and 178, the electricity, lighting, security, and maintenance, plus equipment storage space in various buildings on the Duxford site. In recent times IWM provided travel subsistence for all IWM volunteers plus refreshments on specific IWM event days.

As a direct result of the above material provision by the Trust to IWM and its customers, the interpretation, exhibition and display of historic communications equipment for the education of the public by the IWM Radio Section Volunteers has successfully taken place (up until 23 March 2020) six days per week when the Imperial War Museums, Duxford was open to the public (subject to availability of groups of volunteers - minimum 2 persons per building or activity in order to prevent lone working on the Duxford site). In a full year between 5000 and 8000 Radio Section specialist volunteer hours of on-site explainer duty and off-site volunteer liaison and administration were delivered to IWM by the IWM Radio Section Volunteers, who were team-led led and managed by the DRT trustees.

5. Donations Received

Various restricted donations of funds have been received from private individuals in the UK for the express purpose of overhauling and replacing the public exhibits on loan to IWM in Buildings 177 and 178 at the IWM Duxford Airfield site. Various other non-restricted financial donations and donations of

equipment, documents and electronic, and electro-mechanical components have been received from private individuals.

5. Heritage Assets

The collection of historic communications equipment and documents owned by the Trust, which currently date approximately from the period 1916 – 2005 is considered by the Trustees to qualify to be treated as Heritage Assets. Throughout this reporting period the Trustees have continued to research, catalogue, and assess the present-day market value of these heritage assets in accordance with SORP FRS102. This process is approximately 95% complete and the value of the items catalogued to date is estimated in the range £125,000 to £168,000.

The individual value of such items is estimated by researching the average selling price achieved at public auction and public on-line auction and by applying the knowledge, experience, and judgement of the Trustees as to the historical significance, scarcity, desirability and condition of each item.

6. Other Information

The Trust has reviewed and continued with the same banking facilities, operating policies and procedures which were created in 2016-2017. The trust has registered with HMRC for the Gift Aid system.

The Trust has continued to operate the wholly owned subsidiary company, Duxford Radio Limited (DRL), for any activities which are not considered by the Charity Commission to be wholly and exclusively for the public benefit.

DRT maintains a public Internet web site www.duxfordradio.org to communicate information to the general public about the history, application and technology of communications in military conflict and civil emergencies.

DRL has continued to publish on behalf of The Trust a historical-technical journal entitled Duxford Radio . This publication has reached issue 86 and is circulated to local supporters, distant supporters/donors and is archived in the Cambridge University Library.

7. Statement of Conformance to Public Benefit Requirements

The Trustees have had regard for the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission from time to time and contained within documents PB1, PB2 and PB3 and have acted accordingly.

The Trust has supported IWM with additional Morse code tuition sessions for the public at various locations when required around the Duxford Airfield site during school holidays and some weekends and special event days.

From 15 November 2019 to 23 March 2020 the trust provided both working and static historic military communications equipment for exhibition and direct demonstration to the public on a regular basis for up to six days each week that the IWM Duxford was open to the public.

8. Additional Information

The Trustees and Directors are most grateful for the explainer activity, support and assistance given by the IWM registered volunteers, supporters, donors, and correspondents of the former IWM Duxford Radio Section.

No DRT Trustee or DRL Director received any personal benefit or remuneration or expenses from the Trust or the DRL Company during the period of this report.

See Appendix 1 for more detailed information

– Appendix 1 Details of DRT being forced to leave Duxford Airfield by IWM

Recently, citing the need for 'regulatory compliance, and instructions from Government Auditors', the IWM Duxford department of commerce and operations designated all non-IWM employed parties on the Duxford airfield site as 'commercial partners' and required them to formally agree to a very detailed, onerous and rigid commercial supply contract.

Detailed discussions between IWM Duxford commercial management and the Duxford Radio Trust over DRT status at Duxford Airfield began on 11 November 2019. IWM management claimed that the volunteers in the IWM Duxford radio section were not volunteering for IWM, but for DRT, when in fact the Duxford radio section volunteers had previously been formally instructed in writing in late 2008 (by the then IWM management) to leave the Duxford Aviation Society as volunteers and become direct IWM volunteers with effect from April 2009. This they all did and became formally registered IWM volunteers since that time. All were supplied with IWM volunteer ID cards and can prove these facts.

On 10 December 2019 a glowing annual review of the radio section performance was received from the IWM Lambeth Volunteer Manager, who proposed to promote and increase the visibility of the radio section group. However, within a few days the IWM Volunteer Department was instructed by the commercial department to cease all liaison with the IWM radio section volunteers.

Until 23 March 2020 DRT had continued to provide all equipment, materials, local management of IWM volunteers, and administrative support, at the request of IWM, to create and operate the Duxford volunteer radio section comprising static and interactive historic radio, navigation, and radar exhibits, displayed for the benefit of paying IWM public visitors to the Duxford site. This activity was funded entirely by DRT/DRL. IWM provided the general site facilities and buildings, IWM volunteer identity passes and required the recording of IWM radio section volunteer explainer duty hours on their Better Impact database software.

Historically a team of IWM radio section volunteers had supported IWM Duxford by operating the radio section, for the past 32 years, with some 36 specialist communications engineers, restorers, and explainers (mainly from the radio communications industry or military) giving IWM Duxford between 6000 and 8000 volunteer hours per annum. As technical specialists, the hours contributed by the radio section volunteers were worth £350 per 8-hour day to IWM as matched funding contributions to National Lottery funded projects. The radio section attracted at least 12,000 visitors each year at IWM and coached over 6000 children in Morse code each year amongst its diverse range of activities.

From November 2019 IWM management retrospectively changed the recording categories of the previous three years records of Radio Section volunteer hours on the Better Impact recording system from Front of House Explainer Duty to Collections Care and Conservation , which is not a true description of the recorded activities of the IWM Radio Section volunteers, but one which fits in with HLF project matched funding requirements.

The standard commercial contract demanded by the IWM commercial department was impossible for DRT to comply with in its entirety for various reasons, some of which are mentioned below. To try to reach a mutually acceptable arrangement, the DRT trustees proposed and tabled a formal loan agreement that would continue to make available the unique DRT historic communication systems equipment collection to IWM and its visitors. Regrettably, this was rejected by IWM Duxford management, who insisted on the use of the new IWM standard commercial contract treating DRT as a commercial organisation with full-time staff, even though DRT was a small self-funded charity.

The most difficult aspect of the IWM contract requirements was for DRT to provide £10M public liability insurance and £10M product liability insurance protection to IWM – with specific IWM conditions . Since 2009 (when the radio section members became IWM volunteers at IWM insistence) this cover had been provided by IWM on its general insurance policy via an annual subrogation certificate, in exchange for the old Duxford Radio Society, and later the DRT trustees, taking responsibility for management/supervision/team leadership of the 36 IWM Radio Section volunteers and related health & safety risk assessments, rather than IWM paid staff performing this role.

Another particular difficulty was that IWM required DRT to contract to guarantee to supply IWM with adequate volunteers to staff the Duxford Radio Section (in 2 separate buildings) for 5 days per week 52 weeks per year. Since the Radio Section volunteers were all IWM volunteers, DRT did not have control over them, and in any event, attendance by volunteers is, by definition, a voluntary activity and not a contractual obligation which could be guaranteed or enforced.

During the first 2020 COVID-19 lock-down period, DRT tried to obtain insurance, but insurance companies proved difficult to contact, and this process was further complicated by the specific terms and conditions insisted on by IWM, concerning a sole IWM decision on who would be permitted to access, operate and take responsibility for DRT owned radio equipment in the future. In any event, DRT could not legally comply with these conditions due to the UK OFCOM radio transmitting regulations and other UK health and safety considerations relating to access to high voltage equipment. After much dialogue with IWM Duxford management, eventually these conditions were eased slightly to be a joint decision-making process and on 9 July 2020 an insurance quotation was obtained by DRT. The activities of Duxford Radio Limited (DRL) and the exhibition radio station were already separately insured via the Radio Society of Great Britain group policy.

However, on 12 July 2020, the trustees were advised that despite finally obtaining the required insurance cover for the DRT equipment collection, it was too late, IWM arbitrary deadlines had not been met, The Radio Section would be closed, there was no place for DRT at IWM Duxford no agreement would be made for DRT to remain there, and that DRT should remove all its equipment from site – quite independent of the pandemic restrictions on movement. The IWM department of commerce and operations told the trustees that DRT was ‘small fry and of no consequence to IWM Duxford’ etc.

The Trustees were formally told to remove all the DRT owned radio, navigation, and radar exhibits and equipment from the site, and that the IWM Duxford volunteer radio section would be closed. At one point during the pandemic lock-down, IWM demanded that DRT clear one particular building within two weeks despite this not being legally practicable. No valid or truthful reason was given for closure by the IWM department of commerce and operations.

It is important in this context to record that the most recent written review of the IWM Duxford volunteer radio section and DRT/DRL performance (10 December 2019) by the IWM Lambeth volunteer department was full of praise and expressed a desire to expand and promote the Duxford radio section exhibition activity. The radio section had been awarded an IWM volunteer certificate of merit for its contribution in 2018. However, after this 2019 review, the IWM volunteer department staff were told by the IWM department of commerce and operations to cease all liaison and involvement with the Duxford radio section volunteers, and all volunteer support ceased abruptly during December 2019.

During the remainder of 2020 IWM pressurised DRT to rapidly remove all historic communications equipment from the Duxford site at a time of COVID-19 lock-down, social distancing and necessary isolation of vulnerable elderly people. The DRT trustees are all aged between 72 and 89 years and could not therefore immediately comply.

Historically the IWM radio section volunteers, led by the DRT trustees have served and supported the IWM at Duxford on an almost daily basis for 32 years, providing the historic radio communications, radar and navigation systems expertise and complete historic communications systems for the benefit of the public. They have researched, designed and developed interactive communications exhibits in their own time and at their own expense for the public education and the interest of children, to support the STEM education syllabus and inspire children to take up technology and science in the future. IWM radio section volunteers have provided in-depth specialist technical and historical services to both IWM Lambeth and IWM Duxford over many years and have identified and catalogued the IWM communications equipment collection (COM Collection) which it holds on behalf of the nation. IWM does not and has never employed staff with these abilities or experience. The IWM Duxford radio section also provided a great and emotional attraction for military veterans and their families who once again enjoyed a hands-on experience with the field equipment which they or their parents/other family members had used in military service in the past.

The DRT trustees, all of whom served as IWM volunteers, are incredibly sad to be forced to close the public exhibition and leave IWM Duxford after such a long and successful period of service to the museum and the wider public. They also apologise in advance for the disappointment to the many visitors who pay to enter IWM Duxford specifically to visit the radio section.

The DRT trustees believed that IWM Duxford was the most suitable location to display, demonstrate and explain its collection of complete, working, historic military radio equipment systems for the education of the public, to tell the story of communications in military conflict and civil emergencies. DRT has one of the most comprehensive publicly available display of working, historic communications equipment regularly open to the public in the UK.

– Appendix 2 Details of DRT decision to change the charity constitution

The Duxford Radio Trust

Registered Charity No. 1169780

Report of Trustee decision to change the charity constitution

Date Decision made: 11 November 2020

Decision made

Change the Duxford Radio Trust (DRT) constitution from V7 to create Version 8c dated 25 October 2020

Method of internal communication and discussion utilised

Changes to the Duxford Radio Trust (DRT) constitution to create Version 8c dated 25 October 2020 were considered and approved by the current Trustees after electronic email circulation and discussion of proposals. Due to the prevailing circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, a subsequent discussion and final agreement was achieved by means of a video conference session on 11 November 2020 in accordance with the original DRT constitution V7 which permitted such electronic means of trustee communication.

The video conference session of 11 November 2020 was fully documented by audio and video recording made by the company secretary.

Reason for the change of constitution

The need to change the Duxford Radio Trust (DRT) constitution resulted from the action of IWM commercial management to close the IWM Duxford Radio Section from 13 July 2020 and eject DRT from the Duxford Airfield site. DRT (formerly operating as Duxford Radio Society) had provided the activities of public exhibition and education of the public in historic radio communications, radar, and navigation at IWM Duxford for 32 years. DRT had maintained on the Duxford Airfield site its complete collection of equipment, spares, components, electronic test equipment and other necessary items to support the collection, conservation, restoration and display to the public, plus supporting documentation and electronic engineering facilities.

Given that DRT was primarily formed to educate the public visitors to the IWM Duxford Airfield site and to provide IWM Lambeth and IWM Duxford management with specialist historical and electronic exhibition and communications engineering services, this change of circumstances required a fundamental review and re-alignment of the purpose and objectives of the DRT charity.

Actions taken

Following discussion between the trustees, the existing DRT constitution was modified to reflect a wider future approach to educating the public and assisting other museums and other history groups who have similar interests in the history, application and technology of radio communications, radar and navigation in military conflict and civil emergencies.
