There are actually TWO problems, one of
which PROMISED to be GONE quite a while
ago.
Major Sponsors will not emerge until the
above-named persons are (...uh) absent.
They know this, but continue and refuse to
accept responsibility.
I've had it!
Heads ought to have rolled YEARS ago, but
they Never Did!
Nor will they now, unfortunately..........
At least they're not saying the aircraft is
going to be sold-off to America any longer.
That always made me BRISTLE!
Come On CLUB!
DO what you KNOW You Can DO!
Think I'm right, RLN?????????????

I don't understand - I know it doesn't take muchand finances are not my strong point, [ask DT
] - but how do you make a loss, when you don't earn anything? I assume what they mean is they were £40K short in donations to cover expenses? Well if that is what they mean then I think out of raising a figure approaching £2M that is bloody good.
I know the arguments and to be honest we have been here many many times, covering old ground won't change anything - my understanding is 558 has not got that much longer as it is, unless they can raise enough money to do the next MOD to increase the FI.
Things are better now that ever for 558 with a much greater potential to earn her keep, and that is what I think is an important factor in raising the extra cash needed to keep her flying, if she is to fall at what I will describe as the final hurdle that will be very sad.

Fully agree HH.
I work in the Aerospace Industry, the company I work for has just announced redundancies, but bless them they are going to create several posts for which those being made redundant can apply for.
The new posts 'Management' the redundant posts, 'Floor Workers'.
It is time that VTTS realised that they can make as many floor redundant and keep as many Sit on Ar*e people as they like the situation will get worse.
But if they were to get rid of the high paid Sit on Ar*e people then allow the Floor people to be dual traded, that the situation may improve greatly.
But as we know there was only one Sit on Ar*e who would get his hands dirty by hands on work.
Sorry from now on my pockets are definately empty until they stop the high wages of Sit on Ar*e.
Keep the Engineers thay have and make them dual rolled they could probably do a better job.
My rant over.
