Minister of Heritage!
There is an orginization that will surely help! Years ago the last flying WW 2 Canso left in Canada was going to be sold off shore and it was hoped it could be retained for a historic/ museum purpose. It was flown by 162 squadron RCAF and Thomas Cooke DFC, AFC ( check out Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame ) won his DFC for sinking a German submarine. In the log book containing the names of pilots who also flew it included David Hornell VC.
All attempts to get goverment support or financing to aquire the airplane were rejected. Luckily it was sold to a buyer from France who completely restored the airplane and was used for arieal photography.
If that isn't worth saving then an M113 might fall through the cracks as well.
