<p>We recognise the important heritage value of ex-military aircraft and equipment;
however, it is for museums and other organisations to determine acquisitions appropriate
for their collections. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport estimates
that it has given over £500,000 towards the rescue of ex-military aircraft through
the National Heritage Memorial Fund. The Heritage Lottery Fund has also provided £3.5million
in support of ex-military aircraft.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is responsible
for the disposal of ex-military aircraft and equipment. The MOD’s gifting policy acknowledges
the heritage value of ex-military aircraft and equipment, and permits gifting to DCMS
and MOD-sponsored museums.</p>
