Campaign for Ukrainian MiG-25 for UK museum?

This MiG-25 is displayed in good condition at the national aviation museum, but several airframes are deteriorating in the museum’s storage area.

Ukraine has several MiG-25 airframes in storage. How about one of these is taken to the UK for museum display? Reasons for this:

— It would prove a major attraction as would be the first on display in a British museum — It is a powerful symbol to encourage interest in Cold War history

— It could trigger further aircraft – Ukraine has a wealth of Cold War Soviet types in storage.

So, should we start a campaign? If so, which UK museum should it go to?

    Duxford would be the obvious place, or maybe Cosford?

    Certainly. An iconic aircraft regardless.
