DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT MUSEUM TRUST
LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01682401)
T/A DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT MUSEUM

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024



At the start of the year seven Trustees guided the volunteers in fulfilling the Museum's mission and Memorandum of Association. However, during the year a small group of volunteers expressed a concern regarding the direction in which the trustees appeared to be taking the museum. This resulted in the resignation of four of the Trustees. In response to this the remaining Trustees initiated a full review of the museum's governance with a view to establishing best practice for the Museum. This review remains ongoing with delays caused by the availability of suitably qualified external consultants. The results will be presented to the members once the review is complete.

The number of unfilled mid-level management positions remains a concern. Whilst the position of Events Manager was filled in January 2025 following an advertising campaign, numerous positions including those of Membership/Registrar, Fundraising, Marketing/Public Relations, Collections/Exhibit, and Aircraft Keepers remain vacant. Bookkeeping has been outsourced to an independent firm of qualified accountants whilst all payments to suppliers and to volunteers remain with the Trustees.


Work was initiated to centralise the aircraft/exhibit work review process with the Restoration Committee. The Committee incorporates our aircraft/exhibit experts and is at the right level to evaluate and recommend work projects. All aircraft/exhibit proposals and budgets are submitted to them to access and prioritise. The Committee will forward their recommendations to the Trustees for review, approval and funding. The Committee will allocate individual project budgets, manage funding reallocation's where necessary and recommend methods to resolve any extraordinary issues to the Trustees. Once agreed the Team leader is expected to manage the project to completion reporting any unexpected issues to the Restoration Committee.

Although delayed, the basics of the plan presented at the 2023 AGM remain.

The fuselage of the Dragon Rapide has been moved into the Geoffrey de Havilland hangar. The extra height afforded by this move has allowed the stub wings and undercarriage to be fitted preparatory to full final assembly in 2025. This move has also allowed for a full, in-depth review of the museum's exhibits and the production of a timetable for future airframe moves.

In commemoration of the DH88 Comet aircraft success in the MacRobertson England to Australia Air Race a special exhibition of memorabilia was mounted around the museum's full size film prop DH88.

Work has commenced on the restoration of the Sea Vixen exhibit which has suffered from weathering of this outside exhibit. The work is weather dependent but good progress is being made.

The fabric of the Museum was addressed ensuring the Museum is compliant with health and safety legislation, roof replacement options investigated, a Costed Condition Survey completed allowing the development of a multi-year site maintenance plan, the spray booth reinstatement initiated, the AJH visitor experience restored, the Café redesign process started and undertaking preliminary Arts Council England grant application work for a new WGH roof.

During the year a computer software system was introduced allowing volunteers to record the hours they volunteer at the museum and to record time spent working off site and at home. A further analysis allows for identification of the type of work undertaken. This has already been of considerable benefit as it has identified the very substantial number of hours worked by volunteers in all areas of the museum's operation.

Community support has been enhanced through further development of an expanded school offering, support for local charities, work experience, Duke of Edinburgh, Scouts and Guides visits, group tours (U3A, Club visits, etc.) and hosting visits by groups with special needs.

Finally, the Trustees would like to thank the volunteers and everyone else involved with the running of the museum for their hard work and support in earning the TripAdvisor Travellers choice award which puts the museum in the top 10% of attractions worldwide.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
DE HAVILLAND AIRCRAFT MUSEUM TRUST
LIMITED


Independent examiner's report to the trustees of De Havilland Aircraft Museum Trust Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group and Charity's Accounting Policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

It has been judged that the fair value of all assets and liabilities is equal to book value, and a number of estimates have been made to calculate Accruals as at 31st October 2024.

INCOME
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation unless the performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Grant Income is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred.

Income from Charitable Activities and Trading Income are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services rendered and is recognised as the services are delivered.

EXPENDITURE
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

EXPENDITURE
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. These are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to headings, they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

CHARITABLE FUNDS
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Where Restricted Funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes, it is the policy of the Board of Trustees to carefully monitor the application of those funds, as and when received, in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Freehold property - 10% or 17% straight line
Plant and machinery - at varying rates on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance

TAXATION
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The charity and its subsidiary operate defined contribution pension schemes for all qualifying employees.

The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund.

The charge to the statement of financial activities in respect of defined contribution pension schemes was £440 (2023: 403).
