RAF MANSTON SPITFIRE & HURRICANE MEMORIAL MUSEUM 

The RAF Manston Spitfire & Hurricane Memorial Museum houses two aircraft which are preserved for the education and engagement of the general public.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
