I would be more inclined to stump up a bit of cash if they threw the bloody thing about a bit more at air shows like they used to do. A lot of people contributed to its restoration fund in the belief that future displays would be worth watching, sadly that has not been the case and I think the 'kid glove policy' has backfired 
It's a trade off between throwing it about and fatiguing it so that it costs more to maintain and will run out of airframe and engine life quicker, or establishing limits which will allow it to continue for a worthwhile display life.
It is not like a steam locomotive or classic car where it can be used at ten tenths and then restored to perfection by just throwing money at it (if the money were there). It does have a very finite life left as an airworthy aircraft and once that's gone, there is no way it can be restored given all the money in the world.
It is also, I would imagine, operating on a very much more restricted placard than it would have been in RAF days, so the pilot is simply not permitted to fly it to the limits that would once have been permissible.
