Sumlnary of the objects of thecharity aet out ln itagoverning document

1. To preserve and protect a Napier Sabre powered Hawker TyphoonMk1b aircraft and return her to full working order for the benefit ofthe public and to demonstrate and display her to the public; and

2. To advance the education of the public in Hawker Typhoon aircraftand their crews for the benefit of British Heritage, remembrance andhistoricai knowledge and in particular:

a. Its associated provenance and historical context;b. Its aviation and engineering heritage,c. Its significant heritage interest,d. Its operational and maintenance procedures and

pf'ocessese. Its design, engineering and technologies

Summary of the mainactivities undertaken for thepublic benefit In relation tothese objects (Include withinthis section the statutorydeclaration that trustees havehad regard to the guidanceissued by the CharityCommission on publicbenefit)

In planning all the charity activities for the year 2017-2018we havecontinued to reference the Charity Commission's guidance on publicbenefit at our Trustee meetings.

The full focus of our activities during the year has been to continue toadvance the education of the public in the Hawker Typhoon aircraft andtheir crews, to preserve and protect the project airframe (serial numberRB396) and to raise funds towards the first stages of rebuild. We havecommitted to maintain a presence at as many public events that ourtrustee and volunteer base will allow and expand to a much largerfootprint at major air shows in the UK which will enable us to grow thevolunteer and member base.

We believe that by continuing to adopt a policy of re-investing fundsraised into merchandising, the project, the base for the organisation andthe appointment of a licensed company to oversee the rebuild of RB398that this will empower the organisation to reach a larger public audience.In return, this will allow the organisation to continue to develop theobjects of the charity.

Additional details of objectives and activities tOptlonal Information)

You may choose to includefurther statements, whererelevant, about:

~ policy on grantmaking;

~ policy programme relatedinvestment;

~ contribution made byvolunteers.

Members of the charity have continued to make a significant contributiontowards the objectives. They volunteer their time to help maintain thebase for the organisation, manage the online shop, host events at thebase and'to attend public events (on behalf of the charity) to further theobjectives. Without their valuable contribution of time, energy,enthusiasm, expertise and on occasions including a financial contribution,we would not have been able to achieve the exposure to the public thatwe have continued to enjoy this year.

The trustees wish to place on record our thanks for all the membervolunteers for their help and their continued support.

The first month of the 2~ quarter of 2018 saw the HTPG host the secondmembers only open day, celebrating and promoting the growth of thecharity during the previous year. Two veteran Typhoon pilots were invitedto the event to meet all the members in attendance and to launch a newseason raflle prizes had been donated by current members. Theseinduded a cap signed by 3 Typhoon veterans.

Details of any funds materiallyin deficit Not Applicable

Further financial review details (Optional Information)

You may choose to includeadditional information, whererelevant about~ the charity's principal

sources of funds {includingany fundraising);

~ how expenditure hassupported the key objectivesof the charity;

~ investment policy andobjectives including anyethical investment policyadopted.

The trustees and rnernbers will continue to raise funds throughattendance of national air shows, the sale of memberships andmerchandise through the website and hosting events at the organisatlonsbase.

Expenditure on the expanded show stands and additional merchandisehas increased the income from allowed the charity to attend the airshows to raise further funds, without which the charity would remainstagnant and hinder the charity objectives being met.

The trustees have sanctioned an increased investment in the national airshows to increase the footprint of the project to a gm x 5m marquee withbespoke gable end. This will require the transportation of the majorsections to the shows, incurring an additional cost, but it is anticipatedthat the increased growth will lead to increased revenue and an increasein the membership base.

The trustees will continually support investment in the maintenance of theexisting bespoke stand, further merchandise options and attendance atthe regional air shows. The Trustees will continue to authorise investmentin any activities that will promote the charies objectives and increase thepublic awareness of the aircraft, crews and project whilst adhering to ourreserves policy.

P r

During the coming year we will continue to place an emphasis on maintaining our presence at public events(expansion to a show in France anticipated) with the aim to continue to advance the education of the publicabout the historical contribution and signNcance of the Typhoon and ail its crews.

The upcoming public events will enable us to grow our membership base, sales of merchandise to the publicand donations to raise additional funds towards securing a base for the pmject and extending the volunteerbase to enable us to expand our availability for future public events.

The trustees will continue to prepare the project business plan for distribution to selected individuals andcompanies who could support the rebuild. The trustees will begin the process to engage with certifiedrestoration companies within the UK. This will enable the charity to plan announcements about who willoversee the rebuild of the aireralt to CAA standards and which company will be the first to receive a contractto commence the rebuild of the rear fuselage.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above.

Sarah Cattail ACIIA —Group Financial Controller, Shaylor Group Limited

Qmameata

Back Ground

I am a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA) and have been with Shaylor Group Liinited, a 8140m

turnover Construction Company, for over 14- years. The following comments are not in any sense to be

considered a formal audit of the trust's financial activities but more a general comment on the approach to

managing the Trust.

My comments are as follows:-

1. The records provided show that 2017/18 activities of the Trust i.e.

- Appointing Trustees

- Defining the structure and governance

- Objectives and Activities

P Hooper-Keeley replaced J Edwards as a Trustee

Details of the Constitution adopted. Good risk

management processes in place.

There is a clear definition of the overall objectives of the

Trust.

There is information provided on the achievements and

performance for the Trust on both Financial and Technical

matters for the year 1"June 2017 to 31st May 2018

These activities have all been approached in a comprehensive and detailed manner that clearly shows

a prof'essional approach to managing the finances and activities of the Trust.

2. The Trustees have completed a financial review of their second year of operation and this shows a

good correlation with the defined objectives and activity plan.

3. The source'and application of funds of the trust is dearly detailed but not formally audited against

actual receipts/payments and statements.

4. The Trustees appear to be approaching their activities and duties in a professional and thorough

manner but would benefit by engaging a professional auditor for future years.
