Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Talks by a Trustee in person or via Zoom to various community organisations such as history groups included 12 on Rolls and 12 on other talks to generate funds. Comments are made confirming interest and surprise at our local aviation heritage. Donations of artefacts or knowledge have also been received. The four planned newsletters were reduced to two because of the time spent on work for the heritage project. The efforts to create a suitable heritage feature in public view included a pre application enquiry to planning which guided the Trust to a different area to locate the project and a meeting in May 2021 with BCP Council Parks determined a site deemed suitable which would give the public excellent access and was adjacent to a bus stop, car park and cafe at Hengistbury Head on the eastern boundary of the 1910 airfield. A Planning application was made on 12th July 2021 and granted on 9th December. An engineering design was developed from the architect’s concept followed by selection of a fabrication company which also prepared the manufacturing drawings, a building company to prepare the base and a structural engineer to provide oversight. There was a great deal of Trustee time spent in all these activities but on 09 March 2022 a site visit confirmed the viability for the project to proceed. The unique archive is maintained on loan by the BCP Council at the Heritage Zone |
