I hope they can save her, that is one of the sharpest F-4's I've ever seen.
Yes, a good cause; that Phantom has been a feature at RAF Leuchars for years and looks awesome in its Treble One Sqn colours. Here's a picture I took at one of the Leuchars airshows many years ago as a youngster.
One thing that would guarantee its long term preservation would be to donate it to a museum, the museum at East Fortune in Scotland is probably the best place since its collection policy covers aircraft with a Scottish connection and Black Mike has been with the Tremblers at Leuchars for years.

What is the yellow marking on the tail?
It's the emblem of 111 Sqn or Treble One Squadron as it is known, Dave:
