Surely if the radio club and/or members were enrolled as members of a Duxford volunteers renovation group all would be ok regarding the legal / insurance side?
Many years ago, our radio club enrolled for free quite a few air cadets. They were very helpful at rallies!

On another note, prior to and during WW2 where did most of the new intake of wireless ops, radio and radar mechanics come from? Quite a few were used as teachers as well.
Then there was "The Early Birds" who went to France before it fell to help setup comms. G2BQC a local was one of them. The RSGB handbook famously became part of the training material for the services. Loads more were revised and reprinted to keep pace with the demand from the services. It turned out to be a huge number of books printed. Then their was the supplement. The Vade Mecum makes very interesting reading with various problems and solutions that might be found in a strange country during war.
These handbooks helped out considerably with RSGB finances.

Duxford really needs reminding of Radio Amateurs place within the history of a lot of items that they are curators of.

These days, it is all too easy to forget the contribution of Amateur Radio in the Nation's history. From very early pioneers to East Coast floods and more. RAYNET was also formed for emergency assistance.

The attitude these days seems to be:
Radio Amateurs? Aren't those the idiots that mess up tv reception, hifi and car alarms? What use are they?
